If No Saint Appears
If No Saint Appears
In the crack of the egg,
olive oil’s stir, and the sizzle
in frying, there’s a symphony
composing itself. Add a touch
of basil when it’s almost
at the end of its song.
Heat up tortillas. Let them burn a little
because the face of La Virgen de Guadalupe,
or Jesus might appear on them. It depends
on how worrisome the prayer is.
If the following morning
no saint appears on your toast,
it only means nothing has died.
Pound at your heart if you must,
if you need to, but the love
will still live.

Nice poem you've got there.. I Like this part actually "If the following morning
no saint appears on your toast,
it only means nothing has died." Sounds deep.
