Mute Desire

Come Naja, come :
from the scented tree
and spread out your  hood.
I will pull you down on my lips
One day.

Classical ****, Neanderthal.
In your stark nakedness I wanted an asylum.
A place guiltless, hands blackened, moony face,
Nothing to hide, except the fame
Of a fear.

Can I breathe in a cosmos ? with integrity ?
The interviews are corrupt, the dales stun,
The peace perverted, destroying the white birds.
O browning sun !
Wait till the moon rises.

The daily war is very raw
You burn your fingers
for purity.
