if you find the dust in your bones
and let this grainy wisdom pour out
sifting through your hands
you will find a single shiny coin
it was there before you were there
so that you could reach the stars
without the lengthy trip
so leave your bags unpacked
and find the nearest well
make your wish
and toss the coin
every dream should have a home
