Rain Jacket

Properly fold

Clothes with gentle care

Conscious of wrinkles and fuzz pills

Smoothing shirts today

Alone and lonely

Staring into fridge and cabinets

Mentally holding invisible plans

Too confused to sort a recipe 

Once a moment wind soft

Sun mild blue

Courage to paint a door 

Proud and effortless red

Not for trespassing traumas

Real and suppressed

Non-existent 

Wearing a rain jacket of anger and remorse

Failed finding words

Questions ignored

Clarity reduced to vague

Abandoning what fire did not destroy
