self  portrait  as  a  sanctified  woman

I am a 
Temple
covered in 
White lace.

The devout
The heathens
and the unholy
dare to see behind
the Veil.

Embellished in 
jewels,
I apply fresh paint
to
My lips.

Eyelids,
Colorful glass stained
Windows
To the 
Soul.

Ring 
the bells.
Sing
my Praises.
It is time
for 
Worship.
