build a temple around me
of marble and oxygen
place me in the doorway
a body that is no longer real.
build a temple around me
plant vines that coil and twist
up around my skin until i am among the stars
my roots wrap around the earth.
build a temple around me
sing songs that thrum a primal drumbeat
stitch my skin senseless with words
and drench me with the sky.
build a temple around me
in ecstasy and hidden things
so that i can become the landscape that worships
hands stretched forever.
