Setting up the temple
so that the columns describe
the conceptual space
reserved
by your particular aesthetic,
describe the 
curves of you body
the golden glow
of your sunlight skin,
we are setting up the temple
so that it eats the dawn
so that gorged upon dreams
it showers the moon
with something safe
and intoxicating
and hungry.
Setting up the temple
means arranging the stones
against the curve of my neck,
means when I open my mouth
the planets rush in
singing your name
pounding like blood
in my ears,
means
the seal has been broken
forever.
