The

always on our lips
but not heard

our favorite word

the pointing finger
the gaze that raises the sun in the east

the last three letters of "breathe"
ending it
so it can float away whole

one soft tongue
two teeth
one mouth kissing life into the world

The
is the name of God

The is the beginning. cool concept.

I love the fifth stanza:

one soft tongue
two teeth
one mouth kissing life into the world

What a beautiful description of the word.
