This once

Was a sacred place

Reign of spirituality

Now it is

The sanctuary of flesh

Of body's immortality

Surviving over

Any vital limit

To dominate death

Never-ending life

In a static form

Extending death

Putrid pile

Of guts

Pools of blood

Evisceration

Gouging the corpse

Dissection

Altar of carnal

Desecration

Putrid pile

Of rotten guts

Altar of carnal

Desecration

The flesh.

The inner entrails

Effigy of a new perspective

On the death.

Embalmed corpses,

Lay relics

The anatomist

As an unholy celebrant

The body is

My holy book

Leaf pages of blood and

Skin to look for truth

Buried is religion

Glorify the body in

The new shape of stone

Desecration

Carnal desecration
