Ode to my blood stained knickers by @a.h.r.b
I pop them on top of the bin
Still warm,
This months victim.
This time it’s the pink
Size 10
Bow on the front
Glitter elastic gone on the waist
Legs still a little tight
Once called my pulling pants,
Worn for Sarah’s 18th birthday
Where they proved themselves as pulling pants,
Itchy label, cut out,
Guset now stained.
Somewhere between red and brown
Maybe a bit of black?
Shaped a little like France?
Too deep to wash.
So instead I bury them into my over flowing bin
And with bowed head
And rosy cheek
I reach for my Jack Wills Christmas knickers.
My ‘good’ period pants.
