Meaning

What power in these glorious temples
marriages, mothers, malls, mini-museums of another's ideals!
rituals elevating routine to purpose
With the morning sun, I garland these statues
Light lamps of hope and incense of each day's breath 
At night, when the temples close
I am left to the billions of sparkling universes 
rapidly running away from each other 
And wonder if my worship draws them away from me
