Say them all like a potion,
like an incantation

Say the names of things
as they appear before you

creation and formation
desolation and destruction

a thing made real, 
stays real

even when those who love it
will lose it, leave it, or forget it

I am one of those,
a thing made real,
and one who forgets

but I am also one who returns
who re-collects
who seeks out the solace
of wild places
and looks under stones,
digging through the layers 
of the old life made new
in this body of a thousand selves
