“(…) there is no longer than bare, there is only the corrupted nature.”1
The garment of grace
The garment that covers and reveals.
The garment that censure the sin.
But does sin exist?
It flaunts the divine to show we are not that.
The body is no longer.
There is no longer nudity!
There is only flesh, sex, sin!
No one is naked anymore, only gets naked.
It is no longer, it happens.
It is the body that is perceived in the absence of raiment.
The garment of light that no longer allows purity,
It reveals the obscene.
The body is no longer,
Than shame.
