Cathedral
sacred hearts
I didn’t understand that you couldn’t
live in a cathedral,
needed lower ceilings;
you never understood that our love
couldn’t live in a house
or apartment, even a skyrise
with a view,
our roads intersecting
again and again—
I never put us
in a cul-de-sac;
it always felt
like a traffic circle to me.
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter:
a temple is not a slum.
About the Creator

I'm a weirdo nerd who’s extremely subversive. I like rocks, incense, and witchy stuff. Intrusive rhyme bothers me. Some of my fiction might have provoked divorce proceedings in another state.😈
