he told me to empty myself
completely and sit waiting.
my coffee ripples
from the center outward.
he told me that I should desire
to be swallowed up,
to retreat into my own heart.
the angels circle my bed
with their wings that rustle
like sheets and they tell me
that I too am a saint.
I whisper back:
he is the greatest hallucination.
