introversion – thirty one

introversion – thirty one

until your palate
is indifferent to vinegar or honey
you still have work to do

until the bitterness stops passing your lips
your body still needs to be deprived

until your heart abandons ill thought
there’s punishment yet to met out

-W.E.

a premature death to the outer
leads to life of the inner
how else am I to address
this vile sinner

the sincere makes no excuse of his condition
until the reality of your sin tastes so foul to you
that you no longer can palate the sweetness
of anything.

-W.E.
