Cranach's Venus Standing in A Landscape
Wearing her multiples-robes slightly
of finest and sheerest white
The Princess rises so slowly
over the conquered night

And gradually divests herself
of each translucent veil
till she stands boldly atop The Thousand Eyes
so delicate & frail!

Then suddenly She's wrapped forever
in Resplendent Shame
with halos piling upon each other
in acclaim!
