Sacred Prostitution

Only a man can declare

- and even believe -

that "sacred prostitution"

is anything more than

sex from an abused

in exchange of money

to temple coffers.

Neither in Mesopotamia of old

or India of today

did and do men seek 

holiness through intimacy

from women forced to serve

as temple prostitutes,

priestesses or not -

no, we know what they seek:

Intercourse, the tenth or twentieth

of the day for the woman or the girl.
