Saying It
My heart is divided into many birdsongs,
and I am hearing my name tasted
and I am not wanting to be devoured
I am wanting to be told
this is your name thank you
i love you say it back
I am saying it in a dream
on your neck in beetle-tusks
I am shaping the words in mouth
when I retell the fairytale where you untie
the ribbon from my neck but I leave out
the specifics I am saying it
