Ascetic Reflection

I deny carnal weakness Impurity, putridity Pull of basal impulse Abhorrent hedonism I flay my skin My flesh, mortification Dispose of frail rot Transcending thresholds To commune with inner worlds Buried beneath mortal façade Transcend thresholds In hermetic martyrdom The path to divinity Is laid upon the bones of dreaming dead
