Who fills the cobalt glass with bubbling wine?
Who rolls on the long nylons of the night?
Who strokes your BIG refracting telescope?
Who's moonlit clouds are feathered fans of hope?
Who's horizon winks and spreads a brazen eye?
Who lets shadows slip from her curvaceous hills?
Who's bursting bosom strains behind your curtains?
Who's greenery is warm, dripping wet and fragrant?
Aurora! Au-rora! Au-ror-a! Ohhhhh- roarrrrr- aaaahhhh!

Thanks, Pia. Questions are seduction/ veils in the poem; the answer is nakedness. It's sort of a religious/nature poem. Aurora, the goddess of the dawn is stripping off the night until you see the ecstasy of dawn/rising sun.

Hi well-wisher,
love the second stanza:-
whos horizon winks and spreads a brazen eye?
who lets shadows slip from her curvaceous hills?
whose bursting bosom strains behind your curtains?
whose greenery is warm, dripping wet and fragrant?
such beautiful words expressed and asked.
Thankyou for the read.
Jenny.

Thanks, Jenny. I was watching the movie "Gypsy" where Natalie Wood plays Gypsy Rose Lee and it made me want to write a striptease sort of poem.
