RED SATIN

Days of red!

Carnations and gardens,

deserts and roses

close their lips to my noise.

Crazy melodies repeat dances to my silence

undressing my flesh from my skin.

Petals bleed from my being

falling on the rocks of the roads I go.

And like bloody orchids reflecting my poise, they glow!

Flayed flesh and vivid flowers

blend in red satin

to unveil my naked soul.
