March 7: Thomas

(blind, erasure, with autocorrect)

noble Aquino bit his brothers,
suffered the caresses of his mother
shake him in sin
burning branded creature
concealed ecstasy, a cord, pain
piercing cry, confraternity
gratuitous, tight
philosophy.

knowledge of hidden treasures reserved for those who have flowed.

This is intense! I really get a sense of a strong personality.

I wondered about the present tense in line 3; it doesn't seem to fit with the lines around it. The word 'flowed' at the end of the last line also stopped me; I wasn't sure what it meant here.
