All the beggars, with the horses they would ride.
They would ride to the rescue, ride to the ruin.
They would stampede through the dusted garden,
flashing by me in a fury of wind and heat.
I would be left standing with the dust of my dreams,
all the wilted flowers, the promising petals,
bones of the monster we tried to grow with the roses.
