St. Leo the Great

I stood at the foot

of the bed and told you

how great I thought you were--


how your arms were like

great silver bridge beams,

your legs like spiraling turrets.


in your cheeks, there must

be something that mimics

the sun.


when I was finished,

the deer standing outside

our window turned to glass.
