I was walking in yesterday <br />Wraiths and city nights knew me <br />I walked far on into the past and then <br />The complexity of that endless road came across to me <br />I didn't use word associations, then and now, <br />Not even to try to place locations in <br />The map of my mind; I wandered here and there <br /> <br />I was walking in yesterday <br />As if yesterday was today <br />And as though the past was alive <br /> <br />I walked into yesterday and it was the friend <br />Whose name I couldn't recall; it was the wanderer's wine <br />Bought at a wayside stall <br />It was the cold water in a village well when the sun burnt the eyes <br />All the rest was lies <br /> <br />I walked into yesterday but I left my todays behind <br />I did not realise that I was leaving behind <br />The remants of the rest of my mind.<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-was-walking-in-yesterday/
