Dreams

Some dreams of my youth 
Couldn’t come with me
To this strange world
It was not for them
They lay scattered along the road
Or hanging from the twigs of trees
Like little kerchiefs  
I went away 
There was no time to lose 
I look back and see them
In fragments of other dreams
Like loves that were never mine
