St. Pius X


this is what

it feels like

to flail.


to reach for the

hot heart of Mary

and come back

empty.


he hooked our song

with one long claw


and looped it

up and out

of our throats.


I have already

forgotten the chords

I use in bed,


what to hum

when I get

so close


to your ear.
