The moviesShe wore a red dress. She wore a blue dress. The old house has steps up to the front door. It opens. It shuts. The bell won’t ring. She faints at the sight of flowers. We think the nurse is a bad egg. A red hand is danger. Crocodile eyes are good luck and so is clover. Even the fish will remember. The child is in danger. You can smoke discreetly in the library. Sophie is the one to watch. Can I have the key to the small trunk? You look beautiful in red. You look beautiful in blue. Oh hold me close Roberto. It is hereditary. Your wife was my sister. Your future is the present. The child has become a nun. Let’s go boating. From Moving House (VUP, 1989) © Jenny Bornholdt |
