St. Athanasius


I have stacks of books you told me

to read. I balance plates and teacups

on their woven frames, these tiny

uneven cities.


I will never get to their words.


I eat my poached eggs, drink my

black coffee and stare at the stacks,

prop my feet up.


They have a light that sneaks out

from between the pages as I sleep.


I wonder what you’re trying

to tell me.
