Grief

In my last
letter of love
I addressed you
by name
As if
in a loss of intimacy
As if
your name veiled
a hidden grief
I have discarded
the name I whisper
in quiet mornings
into the pores
of your skin
Our names
all these while
unused and suffixed
Given names and clans
Now, we would
conjure them up
Call each other
by those names
Without even
a bitter tinge
of nectar
