An old photograph of a dream stored in mind's drawer
The faded past in sepia with urine stains and smell of must
In misty shifting landfills of mental garbage the familiar becomes strange
and what one has never seen feels like home
Folded and torn it shines like new
There are no children here

This has a wonderful nostalgic feel about it. An old photograph can say so much. Well done
Thank you David for the review and most kind words they are deeply appreciated
That brought back memories. Over the weekend I found myself sharing some old photos of us cousins ain our chat group- the first of us had exited this scene just over a year ago.
Thanks Cryptic for the read and hope the memories were good.
You reach a certain age and even the less thrilling of memories have their rough edges smoothened out. And the “sepiad” memories are always great to return to.
Excellent .. no punches pulled here and the one aimed at the kidney was delivered perfectly .. In my mind memorably so .. but then I've always had a thing about sepia .. Neville

Don't they ever Andy. Thanks for the review my friend
Wow, that’s a statement not that the past doesn’t have meaning but you allowed it to be the same rain plan just a little instead of building up an imagination of greatness like I probably do so it’s real and you’re ready for next. What’s next?
Thanks Bobby for the read and review of this piece. You ask what is next how about waking up to a dream? Ever had a dream within a dream?
They were twins. Ssssh
