before the names

There are times
when i forget my name,
where i am more

the way the wind touches me.
There are times
when i forget your name,

when our legs
mingle as dove’s wings
and your breath presses

against my chest.
Then i am yours
and we are as the one

sky we were always reaching
out to, before the names,
my breath became yours.

-Santiago
