St. William of Bourges (patron of the University of Paris)

there is a way in which

to wander, to start out

into the world with

intentions of changing

everything



the reason my insides

are so swollen is the

weight of all these

miracles that bloom

in my lungs


and flutter

in the dark red light

of my kidneys



this sunset of death

is so bright, I swear

that I’m on fire


and I’m certain

this cilice proves


that sin is as empty

as this last breath,

quiet as the body

I leave behind.
