bishop

"bishop"


we marched to the water hand in

hand and we howled as wolves


howled inches from the sea. the

bishop pressed his lips to


cold sand and collapsed into the

shape of a pagan constellation.


he,


above all men,


had been planning this for years. shards

of ice carried in


from oceanic waves froze around our bare

skin. each of us lay sprawled across permafrost


laughing and smiling at cross-bearing apparitions.
