Why try to say the names
of gods and stars
and things we cannot see,
when life is so much
larger than the tongue
wrapped about words?
...
Why try to know the names
of enemies and lovers
and ones we do not know,
when love is so much
grander than the heart
wrapped about emotion--
...
Why try to see in darkness
and light of the absent moon,
and dying galaxies,
when the cosmos is so much
vaster than the mind
trying to comprehend?
...
Why try to say the names
of gods and night
and things we must not feel,
when the heart is so
full of hatred
wrapped about humanity--
