The Right Name


Take these eyes
And make them see.


Take these hands,
Break their chains.


Take these words
And make them breathe.


Rid the distance
Shimmer any other way.


Take this pen and make it run.
Tread every soul
And every soil.


Take this body
Divide it in two.
Take what you find
If it may be of some use.


Take my mouth
Make it sing.
Translate
And make it give.


Sometimes I need to feel I’m falling


Break this heart
But make it live.
