at the Crossing


an evening eucharist
uplifting queer and trans folks


and all others

we heard read
a long litany
from the Carmina Gadelica

and the winter so cold


home-fire bare-branch

swan and honey
son of the stars


i love hearing prayers
and doing rituals


that my procrustean catholicism
had no room for
