Un-titled

It’s like that every day now—
presenting myself for annihilation.
You caress what washes through your fingers
and returns to the source.

You are making and unmaking me at once:
Name me and the unnameable arrives,
torn open, silent, arils tumbling out.
Taste me and what the tongue learns
is beyond saying:

a shape that
could be rolled into speech
but remains a delicate fold
outside the reach of language.
