the patron saints who line the plank could capsize the ship
saved from their own good luck. what does this teach us
of mercy? sins rinsed like a mouse trapped in honey or Daphne
blessed with arms turned to brambles. sometimes i’m left winded
& full of wonder like the man penniless on his deathbed
who unfolds his fingers to reveal a diamond in his palm.
