you are carved like
a cathedral, one that
i would attend every
sunday in my prettiest
dresses.

i worship your wanton
gashes and the way
you’re filled with piety
over lifeless reveries
of old flesh

no one will ever
be your pope, but i
will be a faithful
nun.

about a good friend of mine that means a lot to me. i hold him up to a high standard and this poem just means that i hold him in high regards and look up to him and whatnot. he's like a brother.
