Carrie Weis
Saint Fanourios Please Reveal
She baked the dense cake
with seven ingredients—
or was it nine—always
a number adding up to odd.
A cake raised for lost things:
her vanished boy
her adrift hope
to reveal themselves.
But those in absence did not appear,
just a slab of mortal cake
crumbling on a plate.
