names

it is humorous to me

how when i think of their names

i think not of the sky at night 

and the millions of minuscule suns

that are visible during that time

i think not of the ocean 

and how they remind me 

of rushing currents trying to pull me under

but of the songs that have their names attached to them 

a tune, a melody stuck in my head 

tainted with memories 

of another era
