St. Romuald


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.
