A golden arrow
Penetrates the darkness
Adolescent thighs of
furry nights
Open to receive it.
For we are good hosts.
Welcome.
And I in my lamp
Deaf to the sun’s hollering
In my safe dignity and
retreat
Refuse to awaken.
Lunar madness is
familiar
The frenzy of words,
A consolation
Daylight a dream.
You are here now, we
will not let you go.
The sun moves to other
skies
Monogamy is a charade.
Stars are prone to
swindling.
And clouds to
inter-mingling.
Incest is in the air. Infidelity is the
highest law. There is no loyalty.
The river rages
Against this sudden
betrayal.
Protests, like in a
democracy.
The solar system is a
monarchy.
In the kingdom of the sun, free will is not tolerated.
Why should I be
honest?
I will allow my words to
deceive.
Hypocrite lecteur! mon
semblable!
Believe what you may
believe.
For words, like the
sun, also mislead.
But I, eternally, safe,
and asleep.
