St. Elizabeth (patron of pregnant women)


your kiss was like a brass bedframe

against the lightest blue wallpaper.


your hips told me you were

a biblical person, born from that


one scrap of earth that was

untouched. I wanted you to


come to me in the middle of the night,

to come to me in my deepest sleep


and tell me things I knew

I wouldn’t remember in the morning.
