Interior - Hilaire-Germain-Edgar Degas, French, 1834 - 1917


A secret barricaded in the deplorable silence,

Guilt hidden under layers of adultery,

A gurgle emanates from the brute,

As he swallows, and glowers at the

Crimson hair of a pseudo-goddess,

Costumed from his midnight suitcase,

his legs tense, hands slump lower

she clenches, holding her powers,

a hand muffles her mouth

turning away from

sickness.
