we are cleansed
of our sins
so much so
that God
even erases
 
the fingerprints.

My muse lays sleeping
ignoring my pleas to wake
wanting only to keep dreaming.

Overtaken by a silent peace
through parted curtains
I saw it was the snow had

I recall my poor uncle Arthur
sitting on the stoop drinking vodka.
Aunt Martha pulled a shiv;
said he just couldn’t live,
then she boiled his cirrhotic liver
