Umbrella

By Justine C. Tajonera

I want to
sort out
my relationship
with my umbrella.

It's a replacement
umbrella of the one
I lost,
a duller one
because I'm scared
I'll lose it
again.

I remember it
when I need it
but I'm bound
to forget it
in a hallway
or a restaurant.

I'm afraid
I'm growing
attached to it
so that no matter
how dull or worn
or cheap it is,

it will come to
be priceless and
irreplaceable.
