FADING EYES DESERT DWELLER

Image
Fading Eyes Desert Dweller, the sun stuck in your fading eyes As night collects around your feet, you pin the planets to the sky Shadow hounds howl dial tones Siren cross the swollen sea Awaken dreams deep in the bones Yawning like an ancient tree Stick figures run free Fading Eyes Desert Dweller, when the day transitions into dusk All the fires drop dead from dancing, your word crackles like cicada husks Horizon line Curves your spine Sip like wine Cold moonshine Fading Eyes Desert Dweller, as the planet passes round your shoes A lifetime of faded photos, colored in the haziest hues
