The Naming of Things

THE NAMING OF THINGS

considering the naming of things:

our preferences show deference

to labels

twelve small fingers there, a visage prophesied everywhere

the curvature of a promise told, that through misadventure grows woefully old

aquatic light-playing nuances, perilous stirrings in nighttime seances

marble halls splintered and razed, mirth in a harrowing endless maze
worship of a familiar stranger

we name it all 

force comfort on what discomfits

condescend to tie ends

feel better, now
feel better
