Things Unnamed

“Things Unnamed” 🖤

A name—I am called—

But I do not negate my place in the stars

by names,

I do not care what I

or others see.

—I am

a lonely fool,

the King's jester

chasing nonsense

not knowing when it is time to come in from the rain.

Wondering—to wonder

like the infant that cannot smile,

living in a world labeled

I must be,

the nameless fool.
