"britches"

His memory may originate from a single thought,
Of event, or place, perhaps person he's known.
A life circumstance that his mind's trap caught,
Or a transitory recall of a seed he has sown.

As memories of his past, dwindle, one by one,
He's left 'amongst thoughts irrigated by tears.
He shall not know of a lasting thing he's done,
For his sight projects not beyond earthly years.
