About

Lamerica
 
Clothed in sunlight
restless in wanting 
dying of fever
 
Changed shapes of an empire
Starling invaders
Vast promissory notes of joy
 
Wanton, willful and passive
Married to doubt
Clothed in great warring monuments 
of glory 
 
How it has changed you 
How slowly estranged you
Solely arranged you
 
Beg you for mercy 
 
Jim Morrison, Wilderness Poems (1966-1971)
