St. Catherine of Ricci

to wake up in a sea of red,

those clean sheets stained


to cry out in the night

over stigmata


it is impossible to hold

anyone’s hand, to run

your palms down

someone else’s back


to find the perfect warmth

of another, to not leave a


trail in the snow, like a heart

trying to find its way back home
