I read it here in your very word, in the story of the gestures with which your hands cupped themselves around our becoming–limiting, warm.

You said live out loud, and die you said lightly, and over and over again you said be.

But before the first death came murder. A fracture broke across the rings you’d ripened. A screaming shattered the voices

that had just come together to speak you, to make of our a bridge over the chasm of everything.

And what they have stammered ever since are fragments of your ancient name.
