Crete
April 7, 2014
A multicoloured ghost town
The island of Crete
You laid down your sword
Wandered lonely in defeat
Dust tendrils rise
Walk the beaten path
Smile as you vaguely
Recall your timely wrath
In the past and future
Simultaneously dwelled your mind
Never in the present
The duality of time
In the past, yet to come
Future never arrived
Arbitrary ticker tape
Measurement of lives
Caught between worlds
Breaking the speed of sound
You dove for the abyss
And chose the middle ground
