February

What we mistook for fear

was only the desire to escape,

and we end up

again in a place as

thrillingly familiar

as the sound of your own name

from a stranger’s mouth,

as open windows just before summer,

as the photograph of your grandmother at your age:

things we thought could never exist.

There is one thing we all want:

someone to call our name

    in rescue

    in remembrance

    in praise.
