Bl. Edward Jones


I lugged the chair to the top of the stairs

even though it was full of rain. I dropped it


from our attic window. I was stunned

by the sound it made when it hit the ground.


It was full of tiny rabbit bones.



I destroyed a nest, a home, a bundle

of new life. Those little eyes saw nothing


but the underside of paisley. My heart is

tangled thread with a hidden silver pistol.


I do not deserve to pray.
