but what’s in a name

.

.

so, i am in need of help. i have spent the past twenty-four hours or more trying to think of a name for my poetry zine. i underestimated the difficulty of this project. i have come up with a few, but i need help in deciding which to choose. and of course, if there are any others anyone can think of, it would be greatly appreciated. so, here they are:

– incarnate, rise
– bare bones
– XO;
– fugue
– swallow
– verb-ate-him

personally i’m leaning towards verb-ate-him or incarnate, rise. but i am still unsure.

today is our three year anniversary of meeting and falling head over heels. i am at home, wandering the halls, and he is at work, pretending to be happy and smile although he would much rather be here. i am wondering how time moves so quickly. i remember meeting him and being so scared at putting my head on his shoulder that my heart was almost thumping thumping thumping out of my chest, threatening to break through my rib cage and land square in the middle of his lap. from this accidental meeting to being married and sharing this minute apartment, where all our secrets stay huddled inbetween our bed sheets waiting patiently for us to return and share every part of ourselves.

he is everything that is good in me, he has inspired me again. every time i fear that i am losing myself, my writing, he knows just how to bring it all back.

i know no better than to love him.
