Us

We forgot our own name, the one within this very phrase,

We forgot it all, we remember it well.

We forgot our name, a dog yapping at a ball that it rolled under the livingroom sofa itself.

We forgot our own bodies, that which begged answer underneath the cedar,

We forgot it all, we clamored desperately.

We forgot our bodies, a child crying unprovoked in loving arms and warm caress, blind in the night.

We forgot our own solidarity, born anew becoming Us,

We forgot it all, we search for it endlessly.

We forgot our solidarity, and we were content.

We forgot our own name,

We only remember us.
