I'm putting my dreams in a museum
Behind the thickest glass
With a stag horn canopy
To gore tempted entry
Look at them gleam
Look at them spin
Look at them wilt from within
Missed chances at cantos dipped in lilac
Or lavender
Oleander
Alexander
Tastes like wilting from within
X marks the spot
So stop at W
And amputate the end
And take the N
Stare into the eyes of the sheep's head when
You reach a beach that's already brightoned
One bright dream
Never lost its gleam
Just shed its luster
Lust? Here?
I already lost her.
