Villanelle: Two of Five

Read, write, tidy

I only want to read and write returning now to childhood domestic tasks are such a blight

I don’t have the gift of second sight but still I manage to see what’s good I only want to read and write

I don’t wish to engage in a fight but asking for washed dishes is downright rude domestic tasks are such a blight

sit at a desk and turn on the light leaving the laundry is understood I only want to read and write

I might have quite the appetite but why bother to cook some food domestic tasks are such a blight

we can always try to get it right mixing it up is all for the good although I only want to read and write domestic tasks can be less of a blight
