I am poet; therefore I understand verz well the concept of metaphors. However, I cannot succeed in understanding how a moon can be half-naked, even metaphorically.

Nocne chmury głaskały pooraną bliznami twarz półnagiego księżyca...

Am I translating that incorrectly, or did the author indeed mean to write "the face of the half-naked moon?"

What is naked, is exposed. The part of the moon that is lighted by the sun is exposed to us, so "half-naked moon" might mean that half of the moon is exposed to our eyes, or that it is in the first or final quarter.
