Write to me lovely poetry She sent black bound volumes Critiquing the umbrella of my ways
I will not encase you Instead she hastes the reckoning The arrival of the dead of days
Talk of unification She remains pure of thought In form , body , an image of purest rays
Comfort now my body So she raises her hands and begins to pray
Thecla was an early Christian martyr who believed in celibacy and was twice sentenced to death but each time she was saved by miracleous intervention by God .
