The stones of the temple – 
massive
heavy
stubborn – 
must be overturned.
An impossible task –  
and not just that – 
unwanted as well.
An unwanted impossible task
paralyzing  
petrifying 
stripping 
the one who stays 
stuck
of life 
and love 
and light.
Perfection – 
so heavy a stone to budge. 
And Satan smirks.
