I am no longer afraid
of being open, tender
a gaping wound
_
For those who cannot look a god in the eye
Living in the quiet death between breaths
_
Take as many names as your mouth can carry
_
Take as many names as you need:
full with the silent pleasure of your most intimate offerings
this private joy
_
voices touch softly
in a pool of your own water
the way a shout becomes prayer
