Saint Theresa and the Lepress

Articles/Essays – Volume 26, No. 1

Few teeth remain in her mouth,
And the mouth exhales rottenness.
I turn my back, my nose.
Still she presses in.

The alpha and omega sat at meat.
The woman could not speak. She only knelt
And wept. Translucent tears upon his feet
Flowed like river waters to the Delta.
