The Cyrenaian Hedonic church

being
at being
(except when 
alone)
under starlessness
(then)bending to
unbeing
(in no other way)
through straightened corridors
with doors lining the west side
but finding them locked
(or)having 
lock(et)s
for
deadbolts
(some oval some heart shaped)
within each: pictures 
of lovers
who will(never)
come into being by being made 
to bend(to more broken 
wills)
thereby adding more doors to corridors
already so  
      endlessly drenched
