Money hangs

Money hangs

on the walls.

You shouldn’t have died

if you wanted it.

That you have

earned it

dollar to dollar,

that’s what you

would have said.  

Now it hangs

like a cascade

of soft colours.

A mirrored

hologram

that does not reflect

one’s own image.

Money

turns into

objects:

only that way

it comes

to life.  

It plays

to retract

itself

on a die.

Fragile

like the dry leaves

on the street.

It plays

on the corner

where the wind

accumulate

the leaves.

Accumulates

the money

that hangs.

It’s not enough

to bring you back.
