I May Have Asked Your Name

i may have asked your name
and i may have mistaken you for someone
who feels my pain

and who knows where my body lives
where my soul rests
where my feet dust every bit of dirt
where i close my eyes and sleep

i may have been noisy and nosy
i may have thought of the past neighbors who died
whose crosses are removed from their old graveyards.

you who feel my pain and yet has no name
you who say you lie you who say you survive

what can i really say? Let me hug you
Let me be with you Let me play with you
In this dark space.

My name is nothingness.
