My body is my altar and I'll let you worship at it if you want But you shall not find any holy books along the shelf of my ribs You will not find any ancient scriptures along my spine You will not find any commandments carved in stone except "I worship at a temple with closed doors I worship at a temple that belongs to itself I pray to an altar thats last candle has burned but there is no darkness here There is no yearning to be lit I worship at a temple whose stillness should not be mistaken for emptiness I worship as an artist overcome by his muse
