Your name means
The name of God,
A cry in the night
Screamed out into the
dark,
Drunken
street
By the girl who's name means
Peace
But who feels only the clawing
Numb
Familiar feeling,
Knowing,
That the name of God will soon turn to ash in her mouth
And that she cannot keep him
For very much longer
At all.
I wish I had met you sooner.
