Redacted

I have started to go to a local writing group. Recently we were set the challenge of writing ‘Who and When’. Here is a short poem called ‘Redacted’ I wrote based on that theme. I’d love to know what you think about it in the comments.

I have redacted

the faces

and the names,

the times

and the location.

But I have retained

a photocopy

of the feelings

To carry with me

in my back pocket

A snapshot of the shame

as an unhappy souvenir.
