St. Felix of Nola


jailed with no mortal

way to bend the bars


two hands

made of light


reached in from

the outside

shaped the iron


so you could easily

slip through



in hiding,

spiders spun

intricate webs


to cover you

like a quilt


to envelop you

in sheen


as those guards

raced by, red-faced

sweating, cursing


and so out of breath
