Charades


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.
