Idolatry

You sit in the cathedral of my longing,
alone. You are unbothered by the graces of stars,
the understated twilight
and the romance of the sun and the earth.

In a room full of colour and stone,
candles poison the dark.
We raise a glass of forbidden wine
to a hidden god.
We are not polite.

Hidden handholds in places I've tried,
this is a sacrilegious crime
against the wall.
I move in here as I move within
a place of less permanence.
