St. Anthelm of Belley


I think about blooming

and how I’m going to

nip this in the bud.


I think about all these

little bruises and how

I must have gotten them.


I think about small towns

and how I’m not ashamed

to be from one.


I think about your fingers

clutching that lantern. Please

lead me safely into the night.


There is a smattering

of red stars on my right hip.

I think I felt your hand there.
