St. Regina (patron of shepherdesses and torture victims)


from a distance,

you must have looked

like you were knee-deep

in clouds.


from the bottom of the hill,

you were a monument,

something to climb towards.


from the sky,

you resembled a swimmer

being swallowed by the surf.


from here,

you look as if

you are emerging from the smoke.


as if you are already

beyond this earth.
