St. Silverius

I’ve betrayed this city

that hums in my bones.


The train rumbles by

like a silver stream

of horses on the prairie.


I roll over in my half-sleep

and there you are, your arms


glowing with the heat

of all those spider bites.


my mouth is a wide open

moon. I roll you up like a prayer


and keep you under my tongue.
