she breathed her name
into the snowy atmosphere,
but it dissolved into
vapor.
so then she whispered
it to the powdered ground,
but it sunk into the ice.
next, she tried to speak it
to the frozen lake,
but it disappeared
into a residue
of crystalline particles.
finally,
she cried it out
to the inky covering of stars,
and it echoed through the hilltops,
reverberated among the highest
everglade branches, and sounded
throughout the candlelit town.
she yelled it again,
to the high soaring birds
and blanket of clouds,
to the rooftop and
telephone wires,
and she found
that she enjoyed the sound
of her name
being repeated
through
the constellations.
