a sacred place

a sacred place

my body does not feel like a temple.

the goddess it once served has retreated.

prayers no longer echo off the adorned walls,

and the stained glass has shattered into a splintering mess of meaningless color.

the altar is overturned,

divinity abandoned to decompose.

i am left collecting the rubble,

trying to reassemble the shrine

and restore it to a sacred place.
