If I say out loud
that I love you,
do our names
and beings change
or do our names
and beings define,
in the first place,
the simple phrase,
I love you?
What can we be
without each other?
Breath without lungs,
kisses without lips,
fingers without touch.
To name it is to be it;
to say it is to birth it
in the world of flesh.
Less than that,
only silence;
less than that,
nothing at all.
