St. Anthony Maria Zaccaria


after all the fireworks burned

down to their ashy cores,


I pulled at the draped stars

of our chandelier

until the crystals

pooled at my feet.


I sliced open the plush

belly of our sofa

with those silver shears.


the clouds ballooned out

with heaving breaths


as if this is

what it felt like

to be reborn.
