Your name with two X’s to mark the spots

Imagine a room, a sudden glow. Here is my hand, my heart,
my throat, my wrist. Here are the illuminated
cities at the center of me, and here is the center
of me, which is a lake, which is a well that we
can drink from, but I can’t go through with it.

Saying your names - Richard Siken
