Monday Poem: Breathe a Name

Breathe a Name

The world becomes familiar
an inventory of possibilities
hovers near your open lips.

You take each delicate moment
into cupped hands to breathe
a name over what you can hold.

Just one word and all this
becomes real enough
for you to walk through.

As if this is the only world
and the rest are mere dreams
made for lonely nights.
