Black Eyed Man

from the dream

you awoke

and spoke of us

naked under

a tree

made of

fire

you said we

had died

and found

each other

there

on the edge

of time

bleeding

and fucking

under a tree

made of

fire

and now

after years

beyond

your passing

I imagine

you there

waiting

patiently

for me

to arrive

the black

eyed man

who held

my empty

pale soul

beyond

the storms

of internal

rage

beyond the

demons

of dark

winds

naked

and waiting

under a tree

made of

fire
