No Makeup

Milk thistle cheated me. 
There was no incarnation. 
The solitary purple flower 
was my leitmotif. 

A girl was taking bath 
in rose water on moon. 
This was a poem of night, 
alluring the sleeping snakes. 

A thick blanket of snow 
covers the wounds of earth. 
You swear and spit and become 
the saint of all the fugitives. 

The yawns had crashed 
on the bed of pointed nails. 
How long you will take to 
get ready for a revolution?
