Remember A Name Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

Remember A Name

A name comes from which the whole body crystallized,

But who puts a female body from the males,
Who decides Oscar or Clint,
Then should be Melanie or Clara, ?

Aerial entities,
Comes arising like Shakespearean citizens,

Immortalized by baptisms, nameplates and aliases,
Individual grandeur among the flocks,

Intensities by fire, heroines like Joan of Ark,
Condemned man on a Theodore Bundy

And anywhere scums and lonely people,
An identity tag on a morgue table,

Asany seconds deprived,
Oxygen's terminal screams for my sweet "Jesus",

Stylisized spirit from alabaster,
Blood from the holy water,
You are Homer, or Pablo Neruda,
Elizabeth Taylor or Naomi Shihab Nye,

Not a guise on unwanted premises,
Just your squeal of a dead serious me,
A loud address and to only me,

I am paging for a name in the long distances of time to a particular man,

Stars, outlaws or destiny,
Remember a name to mark myjourneys.
