Buried in Treasure - Siv Jakobsen

He sleeps in a corner with thirteen cats

A blanket, a litter, the air still stands bitter,

a dragon guarding his gold

His house is a cave full of useless things

Pictures and pieces lie scattered in bins, but then, they’re diamonds and dreams

And he will stay there til the end of his days

Gathering memories in trashcans and trays

Days are wasted, in a careless hole and (??)

as I watch him wither away

Buried in treasures

His fingers are dancing through dresses and skirts, searching through mountains

of sweaters and shirts for a sign or the smell of her smile

To keep them together, to keep her alive, so he wont remember that day that she

died

And his heart oh travels back in time

Gathering memories in trashcans and trays

Days are wasted, in a careless hole and (??)

as I watch him wither away

Buried in treasures

Just a change, stays the same
