About

My interpretation of this poem is this:
The character is “coming clean” of the illusions he’s created about him/herself.
Washing himself of who he’s “tried” to be, the masks he’s created of himself.
I feel that the character had previously been in a state of confusion himself- like his shadow self/t...

Shadow Wash Annotated

I've never washed my shadow out
In all the time I've had it.
It was absolutely filthy I supposed,
And so today I peeled it off
The wall where it was leaning
And stuck it in the washtub
With the clothes.
I put in soap and bleach and stuff,
I let it soak for hours,
I wrung it out and hung it out to dry,
And whoever would have thunk
That it would have gone and shrunk
For now it's so much
Littler than I.
