I open up the cabinet
and find you stored like knick knacks
on the shelf

Our nights together
the taxidermy desire

Our dreams of tomorrow
the shells collected by the sea

Our fears of separation
a jar of golden flakes

Our passions shared in secret
prayer shawls from faraway lands

No one else comes to this cabinet
to see the world we created together

No one else comes to this cabinet
to dust off my forgotten hopes

I create new collections
here in my kunstkammer
in my room of memory and obsession

A cabinet in the corner
opened now
missing you
missing you
