Sean been telling me to put something out there
my name on the cover of a book
or the bottom of a publication I keep
signing my name at the end of emails to my mother
like I were kindly applying for a job she keeps
asking me about my name on a plane ticket I have
a fear about not existing anywhere
I am not
I know
people have climbed mountains to tie their flag to the peak
there is a flag on the moon there is
proof positive that they are there I am sure
there is someone carving their name in a heart on a tree that is
one among thousands in the forest
and even though they will come back to cross out the name there will be
a record of a love that once was
