."HERMITAGE"

walled off
by plaster, stone, desire

from naked greed
destroyed in pyre

keep everything
that is not You

out of my plans
what's left I rue

paint house with blood
baptise the lawn
and those within
thirst for what's on

Your lips so dear
brought by the breeze
the words that bind
our soul cast fear

into the gaping maw of sin
a chasm I will not fall in

abandoned earhtly-bound regret
I slowly grow and all forget

but Your enflaming passioned care
that makes my forming soul jewel-rare

so cloister whether stone or mind
lets all come in who would You find

Your blazing cauterizing heart
that heals what's been and makes me part

of flesh once resurrected free
my soul is now, body will be
