Adhiambo Nyar Quotes & Sayings

A BIRTHDAY

though the language is full of suggestions
in the way of language
but they are all anonymous
and it's almost your birthday music next to my bones

I keep wanting to give you what is already yours
it is the morning of the mornings together
breath of summer oh my found one
the sleep in the same current and each waking to you
when I open my eyes you are what I wanted to see. — W.S. Merwin
