Flare

The point is:

a poem is
a match-flare

one moment, two

before dying out

the point is:

a poem is
where the magic
happens

a flare that doesn't
flicker and die

frozen, encased
immortal,
moments live on

My Name is

My name is a poem my
mother wrote
my father helped


First:
because it's generations
old


Next:
because we like it
you don't always need a reason
like what you like


Last:
because our family
our people are
more than just individuals
this name means
you are not alone
