something There was

There was a place once I knew about

There was a song I heard

a sound

There was a smell

like flowers and salt water

decay

There was the sound of the waves

the low moans of trawlers

creeping

There were shooting stars

at night the sky

so vast

There was a time

I feel like I remember

in pieces like a dream

not quite

There was a time

slow as mud and tides

slow as the moon

There was a fire that burned all night

There was something I forgot to say

something I forgot about

something

There was

something

I forgot
