It’s such a simple thing.
Six little letters that somehow wrap me up
Define me, identify me.
It can be a curse, or a caress,
Something sensual, sexual,
Exciting.
Something utilitarian, mundane
practical.
One small word that with pitch, inflection, tone
Can communicate so very many different messages
A mystical incantation
Just a series of sounds …
air pushed across tiny bones and hairs …
A butterfly’s kiss.
My key.
Let me hear it.
Please.
Say my name.
