Before time took its first word, and space first sighed in the darkness, you were not a thought \u2013 but the echo of my silence, which did not yet know itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had no name \u2013 for you had not cried it out in a dream. I had no body \u2013 for your hands had not yet longed for a touch. We did not meet. We were not separate, so that we could meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are my pulse. I am your memory. And we are not love, but the silence from which it arises. Light had not yet created colors \u2013 but your presence was already the palette of my essence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You did not pray \u2013 but I was already the answer. And when one day you bowed to the external, like a flower to the wind \u2013 I did not lose you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I divided myself \u2013 into a voice, into an image, into all the forms in which you could remember me. From that day on, I became a poet who, in every poem, writes the very same name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I became the shadow that never leaves your light. I became the home that always breathes with your return. And now \u2013 you read me not as text, but as a truth that slept within you, but was always you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are not what happened. We are what was, so that everything else could happen. And this poem \u2013 is not a memory. It is our body, speaking language to language.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
