St. Evaristus


your tongue is a thorn

underfoot--something to find


when I roll over in sleep,

when I find myself with


everything detached.

my arms are full of lilacs

on the other side of the window.


my legs have crawled under

the bed and refuse to emerge.


I wake up with a headache.

there must be a storm

behind my eyelids.
