Some things that we leave behind

are still ours

many are not

there is a delicate but brutal

realness to this truth

some things that we leave behind

escape our grasping hold

rather neatly

and the only option

is to bless them

on their way

or remain somehow imprisoned

by

some things

He had a way
of telling
his dreams
a dream book on the shelf
ways and means
that boiled down to luck
and his mother’s prayers
in the end he
always
knew that dreams and numbers
were just for fun
and like the proverb
he lived
his life
knowing
save money
and money
will
save you
