St. Fidelis of Sigmaringen


when the wind stopped blowing,

I stood up, brushed the pollen

away from the curve of my hip.


have I told you that I dream

you are a shepherd? I am a sheep

and you skin me.


I leave behind

piles of earthy clouds.


I can’t say that I didn’t

see this coming. I don’t know

how to hold you or anything else.


when a volcano comes to town,

there’s enough ash to cover the sun.


I keep sleeping because

there is no light to wake me.
