at_the_desert's_edge
daf (tribute to Jim Morrison)

The nights are full
of agony
that lessens when
you speak to me
a brilliant scarlet end
at the desert's edge

Breathing in
the autumn moon
as you are tending
to my wounds
I bleed
my discontent
with the summer's ebb
and the desert too

Heaven's ships
were all filled up
when I reached the shore
so I drank a cup
of bitter memory
and insanity
'til I'd had enough

Crawl toward the forest
wearily
where Eden's daughter
tends to me
a fallen soldier
fails the test
there is nothing left
when the days are spent
but his agony.
