"Morning prayers" (2): helen (of troy)




"good it is for man not to touch a woman"
                                                      (Tertullian)


       It's just like the greying
to execrate filth
  in light,  a woman's walk:

          small mouth and wisps
  trotting forward--

  "Some temple!"

who will try to be reintegrated
  to him under the tree

--"Adulterers won't ever attain"--

unshakeable column
     of
     grey
      reading
        under
         a
          tree
