The Indicator x The Student: “Hymn”
Originally published in the Spring 2023 edition of “The Indicator,” this poem by Managing Features Editor Eleanor Walsh ’25 was inspired by Dean Young’s “Belief in Magic.”
After “Belief in Magic” by Dean Young
And when I hear false my tongue twists G-o-d
But in street lights I see
The moons all around me
Foxes follow me home to you
I pull the Priestess
Your lips are red
The ring I lost months ago
Falls to the floor like
Snow
There’s millions of fish
I dream of deer
My body is a wire
You are fire
I have someone’s name in my pocket
Just because I asked
Dead leaves fly into my room
Seahorses
There’s been graphite in my leg
For 7 years
I feel it when I kneel
I dream of the same room I’m sleeping in
Rainbows come when I ask
And I look up
Up
Up
And how could I not believe?
