In a Name

What do I do with this?
This surreal collage of letters
Meaningless in solitude
Together an impressionist’s stroke
Five characters locked in a scene
Conjuring phantoms of me
A different face for each reader
Unique to a time and place
There is a soul in these letters
Reborn with every reading
Immortal as the page

-T. Weeks
(A response to “What Am I After All”)
