My dreams
Lie scattered
Across the continents
In backyard sheds
And cardboard boxes
Stuck in the garage
Amid spider webs.
Somewhere wrapped
In cellophane and
Bubble wrap is the
Picture I wanted to
Hang and the fridge
Magnets from that trip
I took once.
And the blanket
Bought to go with
Those IKEA cushions
And the china set
Carefully wrapped for
Some future summer
Afternoon tea.
A muffin pan as well
And box of paints
And hopes and
Wishes, dreams and
Pictures - memory packed
Up on temporary hold.
When will I get
To unpack these
Trinkets collected
Over years in
Anticipation of
My home of dreams?
