the night is dark as the devil's pubis



the night is dark as the devil's pubis

the wind walks in owl skulls

he shakes the plants like a core of smoke

uselessly shreds leaves -
they are sewn with the hair of mistresses

the night breathes as if it wants wine

when it infects recluses
who did not hide in the cell
