Vulgar Asceticism - Leviathan

Given to utter vexation and vulgar asceticism

Revealing in the blows

From the unseen accuser

Not only to bear witness

But attain evidence

Skin becomes to the tearing under fresh affliction

Sweat now mingles with the blood of gross hematuria

From the head

Down the back

Passing the thigh

For it is he that breath hatred onto censuring

And the stones are covered with this blood

Arms to torso and leg to leg

Now adhered with this

Each new blow

A echo of the last

Yellowed orbs rolling under these eyelids

The limbs give way

The last cry of joy

Forever and ever

Chin bobs the shoulder amidst great pallor

This figure is now folded and crimson

Arms and legs bound with pus and wax-like crust

Covering the feet of the accuser

This work is complete
