In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Burning Down the House.”

some money to survive

my credit card of course

my hard drive with the pictures

that remind me of my high and lows.

……………………………………………………..

would love to save the house

the smells, the creaking stairs

the warmth of the kitchen

my victories, my fears

……………………………………………………..

my favorite dress

photographs  unsaved

the rest money can buy

thank god memories remain unscathed.
