A Hungered In the Desert---

a hungered in the desert--- As I walk on this open rugged terrain Thirst bites me on the back of my throat Can't shallow it hurts stopped by the milky-way Cut open a cactus spray drops of honey flowing while white glistering juices fall down my chin Eyes blink and and wave and sparkle at the new horizon Can't mourn for no one 's died Yet still thirsty I drink and guzzle the prize Smack my lips drinking all of this No longer thirsty now I'm ravished Stomach full of liquids now demanding solids I burp and Belch! Now I'm sober Ready to eat moon rocks PoP! PoP, PoP! Still walking this rough terrain Lungs and brain full of dust of the land Can't shallow it hurts from eating moon dust and rocks Eyes hurt too, burning itching wish it would stop Eyes blink and wave and sparkle at the new horizon Can't mourn for no one cries Yet still thirsty I drink and guzzle the prize no longer a hungered in the desert 9/10/18 written by James Edward Lee Sr.©2018
