I name my eyes
after the great war
whose aftermath
promised a change
to those moments
unseeing
by suffering
I name my ears
after the church bells
whose euphony
lets me forget
my past
I name my lips
after that nameless song
whose lyrics
urge me
to speak a little
of what's left unsaid
And I name my heart
after the soundless sea
whose silence
helps me to see
the other side of the shore.
