Theme: Good

The Only Cold

I sit in the warmth of this room: a cold
draught pushes the curtain's velvet temper:
the laxity of heat disturbs my soul
that insists I sit in the chill sans fear.

For this great body of mine that extends
to the limits of below and above,
dimensions this present room and beyond;
houses my spirit, warmed only in love.

Forestalling here the simple platitude
of fleshly code of self-indulgence;
resigning itself to beatitude
such as is at the core of existence

where good burns and the only cold is sin.
