Epistle V - Lust's Instant Balm
(I)
His clemency was
a verdant expanse
where we lingered
in disobedience,
desecrating our
corporeal shrines,
vandalizing
the gold agleamed vessel
that harbors His very breath
(II)
Lo!
How we besmirch
our carnal sanctuary,
abandoning its
immaculate conception
for lust's instant balm -
a whistling whisper of ease
that dissipates
like the dawn mist
(III)
Our evanescent departure
is a twirling ember that
pirouettes before
the susurrations of
time's passing breeze
whistles our kernel like
hollowed corn husk
