Not Even Names
Nothing
left night’s sleepless wake
but forgetting
what is still being said
and an open mouth
expecting to be filled
and a homeless dog
pawing up earthen roots dark
yet no darker than morning’s,
haunting the borders
of a virgin cemetery
we may as well call a garden,
not even names
to lose oneself in.
