Sts. Crispin and Crispinian (patrons of cobblers, leatherworkers, and tanners)


I had a mouth full

of berries and they all

burst open when

my head hit the window.


the juice rolled down my chin

and settled in the crevice

of my collarbone.


I waited for the car to flip.

this wasn’t an accident,


but just a way to see the world

from the bottom of the ravine.


I imagined your face

and what it would look like

in this very moment,


which is the best part

of being a twin.


my own fear is there

staring straight back at me.
