Reading this poem a few times it hit me how powerful the images and the juxtaposition of what one thinks a cathedral should represent:
second stanza: "cauterized" and "hide"
third stanza: "desperately" "shedding" "wretched" "skin"
fourth stanza: "indifferently", "devout insects"
fifth stanza: "oblique" "tears"
and the final stanza just a masterpiece of bringing it all together.
TL;DR Love it, don't change a thing. This is grand. This is a cathedral. Thank you for sharing.
