Leave it Unnamed

      Leave it Unnamed

It never is created by mere speech

And silence cannot penetrate it.  Deep

It always is.  It has a wounded reach

Too often with a name, sometimes, in sleep

But in the waking hours the names that come

To it are shallow, like a shallow pond.

No depth is in them.  They are more like scum.

When poets try cage bars, it leaps beyond.

The priests and prophets think that they can call

It from their gods.  Two mirrors facing one

Another tell the truth, but mostly scrawl

And mumble are deduced.  Wise shamans shun

Attempts to explicate except in mists.

Wise men in love might shove up two hard fists.
