St. Robert of Newminster


the only way to love

is to leave.


I waved from the wide deck

of a ruddy ship

laced with barnacles.


devotion takes over,

covers my mouth

before I lean over this railing


to scream love is the way home

and I am being thrown off course!


my compass hands spin.

you will enter into a life

without me.
