But the Nudes are still as clear in my mind / as pieces of laundry that froze on the clothesline overnight."

But the Nudes are still as clear in my mind / as pieces of laundry that froze on the clothesline overnight."
Metaphor in Context
Mornings when I meditated
I was presented with a nude glimpse of my lone soul,
not the complex mysteries of love and hate.
But the Nudes are still as clear in my mind
as pieces of laundry that froze on the clothesline overnight.
There were in all thirteen of them.
(p. 17)
