Faith
You are my goddess dressing
after disrobing to reveal
a body becoming a temple
built to bear praise
or bask in devotion,
not demanding but deserving of
devout attention, dividing
faith from all previous idols,
begetting rituals
defining worship,
marking each moment
as a fragment of a revelation
refusing to cease occurring,
causing constant rupture
creating rifts of misrelation,
damned by your displeasure;
your smile describes salvation.
