Nakedness

There was no inscription 
to interpret the fresco.
It leaked through 
the yellow roses.

The distant moon was 
very upset. Jumped over 
the hills, like  mammae,
and tore away the façade.

Let the night stay for a while. 
I had to explore the 
mutilated galaxy, cannibalized 
by the overzealous lovers.

A cobra bite paralyzes the sun.
