St. Catherine of Siena (patron against fire, bodily ills, miscarriages)

our future is nothing but apple crates

full of rose petals. these silken tongues

teach us how to kiss. & then crumble

on our sharp teeth. remember: you take the bleach

to your hair, not to your mouth. eat nothing but

Christ-as-flattened-moon. drink nothing but

water from those lakes on the moon.
