Poem of the Week

July 23, 2019 by LizardKing
Jim Morrison
An American Prayer, poetry

This week’s featured poem is an excerpt from An American Prayer:

 

We’re perched headlong

      on the edge of boredom

We’re reaching for death

      on the end of a candle

We’re trying for something

      That’s already found us
