Saint’s Day Triolet: Saint Anthony

When no one else would listen, Saint Anthony

preached seaward, his words fishnet for the lost

souls of the heretics. Caught up in despair, we plea

to the one who will listen: Saint Anthony,

please return Tía’s teeth or the misplaced key

to our bolted hopes. Patron retriever of all we’ve tossed

when no one else would. Listen, Saint Anthony,

teach us to steward this world, all our netted loss.
