What’s in a Name?

 

 

What’s in a Name?

When I turned into you and I
I was still my name
and then I changed to youandI,
— no spaces in between —
and now my name has been revoked
and I am I again,
a name euphonious enough
— but not the same —
for it’s a diminished thing,
like a minor part
of a remembered song
playing in the heart.
