1882

​It was 1882, I walked along memory lane
Searching
Searching 
For something

I don't remember
But these sands of time
Steal my dreams
the way you stole mine

I throttled the pain,
Drank rum three days straight
But the hours stand still
Minutes abandon me
I did something the Baskervilles never will

I saw life before me
Busying itself, coming and going 
Reversing and speeding
Departing and returning

I now feel the nagging heat of the sun
Poking and laughing
I sense an awe in which history has left
Life was fleeting

And all you could do is meet me with a military greeting
