in the temple
where the symbols of God
breasts
hair
earlobes
feet
underarms
penis
neck
palm
vagina
lips
eyes...
demand endless sacrifice
we bring offerings of Listerine and Soap
mixed with immortal wishes and mortal desires
we forget.
we forget that we had come to the temple
to find something else
and leave disappointed...
the ecstasy of seeing the statues
worshipping them with all our strength
leaves us exhausted
we mistake the statue for God
and leave in despair
blind, innocent,
like a child not knowing that the worship is just the beginning...
not the end.
