you can draw aside the emptiness
determine that it's not for you
and still give it a name
you can call it home
call it marriage
call it solitude
call it a career
and you can dance inside the name
of the thing named
for as long as is reasonable
and what's reasonable?
well, namer and describer of emptiness -
only you
can set the terms
of that
which you have named
and given form and life to

it whistles all around every named thing, doesn't it, steven? right through every named thing as well. it's difficult to come to terms with sometimes. at other times it grants a surprising freedom.
