What if it works
What if our words are incantations
What if you promised
What if the stones yield water
What if I build a river
What if you asked the galaxies to dance
What if we turn to stars
What if every shadow has been cast
What if you became a table
What if I invite invisible guests
What if you are invisible
What if we feed each other
What if we eat our words
What if we shape cosmos from chaos
What if we devote our lives to this
What if I love you
