hello there,
I am trying to understand this poem by Jim Morrison, my girlfriend is going through drug rehab and is rediscovering herself. she loves Morrison's poems. ive sent her a few of his books on poetry, and shortly after she sent me this Poem and said she had learned a few things .then quoted this poem.
I am not poem literate, and she hasn't elaborated I am interested in understanding what he was meaning/ talking about when he wrote it.
what is the meaning behind this? any help would be appreciated.
Fall Down
Strange gods arrive in fast enemy poses.
Their shirts are soft marrying cloth and hair together.
All along their arms ornaments conceal veins bluer than blood pretending welcome.
Soft lizard eyes connect. Their soft drained insect cries erect new fear, where fears reign.
The rustling of sex against their skin.
The wind withdraws all sound.
Stamp your witness on the punished ground
