You may think I'm nuttier than nuts, Franco, but this verse reminds me of St.

…led
with noxious light and noise
and people talking
and complaining and
working…working…
and dying…
but still, in my mind
I can always retreat
back to the place
where my soul was on fire
where I can always taste
the sweet, heavy, luscious air
in my citadel
of old paper books
sweet paper books

You may think I'm nuttier than nuts, Franco, but this verse reminds me of St. Teresa of Avila and her words on our 'interior castle,' our soul.
