Daniel Bailey Poet Free verse

Aries

I ask myself
what I want,
as if the veteran
doesn’t long
to return 
to the battlefield

March me into the wilderness
of your body
suffocate me
with your hot breath
burn me with your heat
suppress me
with your arms of fire

run me ragged
make me climb the mountain
of your being

I long for the war
to want me back
for the fight
to burn for me
for once, 
for all

I want you to conquer me,
god of war
