St. Sebastian


Sebastian,
I have been
near you
in my dreams,
and in that
awful night watch
I see,
all too well,
how the world
greets you.
They send their
arrows
to extinguish
your light,
your love.
Yet not all
the missles
of hatred that
fly
can reach
the life within
which gives you
the Song of Songs -
pinned by
deeper wounds
to the heart of
His tree.
