the most sincere worship done by our bodies is almost as an afterthought

only the music of your skin by pattimast

only the music of your skin

only the music of your skin
shall outlive the diamond
and kiss of naked sun in song
though the moon, marry just for lust
or the haunted isle betray our trust,
in sacred fevers, entwined together
the world worships to celebrate forever.
