After Brian Moses 

 

A briefcase of bouncy balls, keen to escape, 

a velvety, star-speckled, silver-lined cape. 

 

A duffel of dinosaur bones, slightly crumbling, 

a self-playing didgeridoo, gently rumbling. 

 

A trunk full of mystery keys, slowly rusting, 

a bag full of jewels from a princess too trusting. 

 

A package of Turkish Delight, still unbitten, 

a suitcase of stories, their endings unwritten.
