Veil and self
Corinthians 7:5
5 Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
Veil
Self-imposed confusion ... lifelines in the palm
burning all the traces of extradition to my call
Loving the illusions ... cemented in the calm
keeping me from places ... where I could “save” at all
Pouring the anointing oil in my own tub
diluting it with water wanting to be civilized
Bringing it to a boil ... until my time is up
for I did not bother ... to see my heart crystallized
A short way to go now ... having everlasting to get there
priorities the vehicle ... as road-signs appear clear
I will somehow get ... a taste from somewhere
to overcome the obstacles ... possibly from my peers
