St. Tutilo


I’m always amazed at how his hands

move across the harp strings


like a fox galloping across those notes,

like plucking the bones of my vertebrae.



I am a cherry blossom on the verge.



With palms that size, he could uproot trees

with a single sweep of wrist,


dirt tumbling to my feet, his other hand

entwined in my hair.
