The Master's Piece

The ungentle wind
breezes in through the window,
cooling an afternoon lust
that was widely soaked
in a summer haze, blending
with the sweet aroma of
a great Africa,
whose erotic craving was
painted in her big, round eyes;
only unearthed by
the master’s naked body
through her hot, darken coffee


--

The Master’s Piece, inspired by B.S. Picture Poems Contest 
and it was based on Paul Cézanne’s  «L'Après-midi à Naples» .
