stone-whispered, unnameable

  i know you cannot name him

so you call him love.


i see it in the way you

   cannot miss him

that's about all

           you've saved for me. i haunt you

           and you'll let me do it.

the way you were born

   to suffer my darkness

and i was born

   to curse your name.


the whole world goes on

                       unknowable

but your name is there

        on   my   hand.

though scribbled and twisted

into an absence

i feel it here

it won't leave.


for the sake of storytelling

i cannot show them

     (i don't think they'd know

      what they're looking at anyway.)


but when they look

       –  if they choose to –

      at the shape my body leaves

           when i lift myself from this grave

                 they will see your name

                     i cannot erase it

                         they will see your name

                             and they will know.
