If my mind were a museum
If my mind were a museum,

I would have my past lovers buried in a cemetary
upon the headstones our love stories would be engraved
perhaps brief, perhaps long
but always stings in my heart, handprints on my flesh

and as i wander across the loose, damp dirt
as a sliver of the moon peeks out from behind the thick, dark clouds
i pray that not one of them would suddenly come to life
and grab me by the ankle

but it sometimes happens
and my mind's eye they look exactly as i froze them
sometimes, i wonder how they look like now
alive, in another woman's arms.

Cityscapes, landscapes, buildings, places
they would be halocast across a huge empty room
fenced up as individual displays
protected by red velvet queue posts

i would walk around each display
my feet cold on the hard, concrete floor
but they remain one-dimensional
i can't go back now to exactly how they were
to see each again in an angle i never saw

Sometimes my friends drop by,
and as we revisit the person and the memory
they add writings upon the headstones
and angles to each scene, put up new displays

and we always work on our secret garden
huge acres tucked away in a safe part of the museum
a river runs through it giving it life
flowering green vines on the pavilion where we gather
my secret spot where i hide away in comfort.

Hmm. I wonder as I wander.
