An Affectionate Jumper

Immense and blue, hugging me as I slept.
Sheer anticipation of the next game
held me from sleeping.
The jumper, soft and indulgent, gave me safety
in a world of chaos.
A chasing body and mind,
felt suddenly clear
in the quiet embrace of the jumper.
The teams angelic intensity, like no others,
it couldn’t be.
The obsessed compassion within my heart,
couldn’t help being contained.
