religion
will not be contained within letters
it will not even be contained within me
religion
in itself
can become containment if we allow it to be
I've become a hollow religion
seeking the sanctity of hallowed ground
I'm becoming an empty container
thinking that what I was meant to hold will save me
stagnant
remnants
cling to my walls
I hoard them jealously
and don't understand
perhaps I did once
maybe I never have
