Caught in our wild sweaty wickedness, he hastily withdrew, left me like meat: dragged, debased, exposed and butchered on ***** ochre soil. Old menβs lewd burning eyes ******* transgression spiced with rectitude. Young men sniff my adultery and swell like figs succulent with stricture. Women boil the oil of resentment and anoint my skin with blistering imagination.
Ringed by scorn, I kneel before a judge who bends down and draws in the dirt.
Guilt lusts for sacrifice, but no one is worthy to light the refining pyre, except the one who draws in the drab yellow dust. Impotent and muttering my accusers sulk into the sand.
His cool clear gaze looks at my filthy bitterness without grimace. His living words whittle my trespasses away sculpting a cleansing change.
