An astringent (sometimes called adstringent) is a chemical that shrinks or constricts body tissues. The word derives from the Latin adstringere, which means "to bind fast". Calamine lotion, witch hazel, and yerba mansa, a Californian plant, are astringents, as are the powdered leaves of the myrtle.Astringency, the dry, puckering or numbing mouthfeel caused by the tannins in unripe fruits, lets the fruit mature by deterring eating.

Will these liquids flow
Above and below
Libations grow
Outpouring the rest
Welcome to our home
One humble abode
For which Heaven rose
We few fortunate blessed
On this chosen night
A sacred rite
Free souls burn bright
In what mortals call sin
Outsider's strife
Our praise of life
Cuts like a knife
In secret the ritual begins
Kept hidden inside
Not to be clad in sky
Just clothed with spirit and mind
Let them spring
Bare skinned and obscene
O perfect form
Yet flawed and torn
Beauty and truth
Refined but uncouth
Presented to all so endowed
To be prurient is to then be divine
Thou bringest Aesthetica's epoch to mind
Transcendent she seems
A product of dreams
Stepping through life's fragile shroud
We do likewise then
Feral beasts within
Shouting humanity's might
Perfect image indeed
In these chambers of sin
Pulsating shadows mesh
Sultry clamor ascends
In orgic bliss
Misty rifts astringe
Heirs of Eve unhinged
Flux of molten spore
The countenance contorts
The art of God seed
Bathes us in holy pearl white
With a thrill overcome
Mirth and reverence are one
Let them spring
Bare skinned and obscene
O perfect form
Yet flawed and torn
Beauty and truth
Refined but uncouth
Presented to all so endowed
Eden Reclaimed
