succession
apostle of hard
knocks
the saint
in the cockle shell
cradles a candle
it burns
his cupped hands
but he keeps it
from the sting
of the sea
presto the
cockle shell’s
a caravel and the saint’s
a gyro
humming the map
when the waves die
he hears his heart
it’s a washing machine
agitating
his empty house
