I Carry Within Me a Church Without Doors

I never had a religion. Only thirst. And instead of drinking, I shouted. I was told I am lost. That I burn too much and God does not come to those who shout. But He answered me only when I howled. I carry within me a church without doors. No priests. No icons. Only a cross shaped like a question and a Gospel written with the blood of a dreamer.
