I like this although I do have a couple of suggestions, which you may feel free to ignore ;0)

a grand cathedral— I think that a Catherdral would be great not grand, a hotel is grand. And the great is probably redundant perhaps?
each stone
lovingly cauterized Not sure if there is a more apt word here to use than cauterized, maybe sealed?
to preserve the whispers
that permeate its hide;
each window
desperately stained
by a fading rainbow
shedding its wretched skin;
Love this verse
each altar
indifferently crafted by
the foot of god
for its devout insects;
each mural
paints itself
onto oblique walls
(starting from their tears)—
Not sure this makes sense?
so when the moon sets,
and the son doesn't rise,
i shall preach at the altar
to listen for reverent echoes.
