St. Wenceslaus


The stars got it wrong.

In all these dreams,


I am in planes, on the wide decks

of boats, or sulking in the

passenger seat of a Buick.


I am getting away.

The radio blares, but I can’t

seem to make out any lyrics.


There were red shoes.

There were unsigned cards.

There were so many seeds

that refused to take root.


I wake up and find pain

in all of my joints, as if

my hands were over my head

for hours, exclaiming something


I do not remember.
