Memories From a Muddled Mind

As I sit brooding over my tea I
picture once more the solemn
sight of a streetlamp going dim
the same beacon of hope that
previously fueled the ramblings
inside my addled mind now
a ghost a shadow of it’s past
I imagine again the clothesline 
that was once the structure for a fortress
so flimsy in it’s cottenness yet 
strong from our beliefs today it
lies forgotten in a garden ransacked by time
bleached by an unforgiving sun
for eternity it shall rot until
revived by some memory 
and brought back into the foreground
of my delusional psyche.
