Life’s Little Misdirections 🥀🦋

Coins

Coins (Hidden Spaces)

The first coin you coveted
Saved
A touchstone gleaming
With restored memory
Visions of a child who dared dream
Stowed away from grim reality
In a wall closet
Blanket fort with
Chocolate-covered
Marshmallow cookie treats
Comics and pillows
A flashlight with dying batteries
Sending signals
To another dreamer
Who would clutch
Round silver
Nostalgia
And the proper reading material
Hidden in sheltered dreams.


Not true finish to the initial inspiration from this. Just thinking how clutching a few coins felt special as a kid. Coins seemed more valuable than paper currency. The associated nostalgia is how I liked to burrow someplace with prized possessions and be hidden. I don't know why I finished showing as a shared experience. Though, I did sometimes with a playmate or little brother.
