the red jumper

Writer's picture: hannah bhannah b

 

The red jumper is the only thing I keep

The rest is gone

Visions of crimson as I go to sleep

A blanket of unbiased security

Locking me away

Clouds of insecurities


Why not throw it

Haul it into the skip

To forget every

Last

Thing


The truth lies in the stitching

Hidden in the scarlet cotton

The truth about the red jumper

Is that we all own one


The truth about the red jumper boasts vulnerability

sensibility

My choice to ignore at the best of my ability


The red jumper is something I shouldn’t keep

The rest is gone

And if it too finally vanishes

At long last I can sleep.
