Foggy Couch II

 

 Starry Night, Jean-François Millet


Turning and twisting inside the hot room,

my glass of juice spills on the floor and

white linen rages like the Northern Sea

while snow falls on the black garden outside the window.

 

Falling snow mutes sounds outside,

and when a shell explode a couple of blocks away

the shockwave multiplies into

her spicy skin and primal harmonies as

we swallow the intoxicating drink.

An electric bass is tuned on somewhere

and someone knocks heavily on the door.

 

My feet hit the sticky bits and pieces on the floor as

you enter with the coldness of the carbonic acid snow

of Mars in your Afghan fur.

I say I heard you were killed

and you  look dead pale to me

when you spill your mind

about the blood rimmed tide acoming

and the matchstick men  who want to separate chap and animal.

Not even warm cinnamon, spiced wine can

bring back the color on your costly features as you ask me to

follow into the night.

When you disappear among the buildings

an airborne military division looks like the Persides shower as it

moves towards the mountains
