Others
They say my name
But they do not say my name
Not as you do
You say my name
And it is in the curve of your lip
The flick of your tongue
In the way it slips between your teeth
Like a chant like a chant like a chant
That I know it belongs to you
That I know you could carry it with you
To the ends of the earth
And it would be safe within
The warmth of your mouth
