Watchful night, stand over me.
I will go astray.
Your starry gaze stay tall and true
and hold me when I lay.
There at the edge of the horizon
orange cream burning embers glow
a demon rides to take me home
and i will surely go.
He forces me to kneel and pray
at his table
he shoves foods in my mouth
and they rot in my stomach
never digested
tearing at my breath and my body
until I am weak
skin tattered
a zombie in a land of mixed emotions
I lay in a pile
still breathing, one breath
carrying me through the ash storm
just above the flame too hot, and I lose consciousness.
Until a point of light is held in front of my right eye,
beckoning something hidden
urging a small spring
and with a shuddering effort
water emerges.
Flames die down, calming,
smoke billowing into the sky, that is
a bold blue landscape
I'm pulled upward
and dragged
through it's azure comforting stillness
The wind picks up and ...!
