AMONG THE ELECT

 

Wyndred is the patron saint 

Of half-smoked cigarettes, 

Drinks ordered but never tasted

And people who have no patron saint

To keep her license she performs

A miracle every thirteen years

Usually something unsettling. 

Once, when her regular bartender

Was sick, she made a new one

From smoke. Visible

Only from certain angles

He made impeccable gin sours.
