'The Relics' - a Short Poem for Kudos Poetry

---

the laymen say a saint
has been translated

when he
changes hands.

his body sectioned up,
resignified,

then packaged off
to the Basilicas
in want of him.

they say that everyone
who knows your name
has got a piece of you.

they say they’d rather
not say anything;

go unremembered.
