The Name

Originally published: May 2005

“The Name”

There is a face

whose name

you can’t quite remember.

A name you almost hear

in the slow, majestic dance

of leaves on distant trees;

you almost see

in a rusted sheet of metal,

hanging onto a barn

by a forgotten dream;

and you almost feel

in the hands

that built this barn amongst the trees

long ago.

That face

whose name

you can’t quite remember

hidden inside.
