form and life

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
