without a name
I greet first light
without a name,
without naming
slip my arm
around your waist
hug you,
snug into warmth,
breath and balm—
one whole
a finger snap of time
distinguishing begins,
splits this from that
hawk from sky
deer from field
me from you,
grateful scent remains

I’m writing a poem a day. These are drafts—not final versions.
the heart of the matter 
Lovely poem! I’m so snagged by the first three lines that lead me to (among other lovely images) “a finger snap of time.” So nicely done!
