A Million Dollars Inside

A million dollars sparkles inside
Stone walls divide the glittering specimens

An ocean of jewels tumble to and fro
Serpents of silver surround a baby turtle

Precious stones are shrouded by barricades of light
They all have their own country

The turtle grasps the chain
This succession insists on latching onto my bag.

If unhinged, she will be swallowed by the crowd
Swept away forever
