I dreamt of a saint loitering in the back alley /
their organs on the outside of the body /
tanned and cracked by the increasing sun the saint had no control over /
scraping the soil for historic cigarette butts /
to smoke Robespierre’s smoke and carry the fevered torch /
a wandering burning point at night /
pacing from dumpster to power line /
letting their lungs feel the descending frost /
they knew the body is a pre-fab building /
never meeting code
