Neologism


Fan of feathers
In letterless flight
Free of fetters
Of all prejudgment

To be seen

Aright

In a naked state
Of a clean

Slate

Subject only
To self

Reliance

In abeyance
To deterministic fate

In obeisance
Only

To

Lairs
Of

Open airs

Opening
In

Layers

Author's Note
Thinking about ethnolinguistics...

And how the contexts of words are compared to one other
in order to determine the relationships between different languages.

For example...

Taking names of animals that live in certain habitats
to determine the geographic origin of a language.

Makes me think, however...

Of a theoretical time where animals had no names.

How might that be.

What would the interaction be like,
between you, were you to encounter an animal during a time such as this.

I feel like over time names become charged
with different energetic shapes of psychological expectation
that in many instances can be binding.

The implications of such a perspective
extend also to humanity.
