There must be flesh
Over the inner workings
of this thing,
as the anxiety might
have a name,
even though
the dread
does
not.
The depression
has a name,
but
the non-specific
does
not.
The
theoretical
concept
of
rage
against
a world of lies
may
or
may not
have
a
name.
But then…
Most names are lies, anyway.

And yet naming something is powerful. Maybe these poems, are our attempts to name those things in our lives. Thank you for this.

Oh... I absolutely agree... And anything you were to give a name to, my most beautiful friend, would resonate with truth of a most profound kind.

So very true, Cipher. A rose by any other name. . .
Enjoyed this despite the undercurrent of forlorn melancholy.

YEs... There certainly is a transcendent form of truth in the depths of all. Thank you for connecting, A. Blessing on blessing to you and yours.
