A name's really / a sixth finger / stuck on to the usual five. A language of inclusion is a world in which the living and the dead entwine their roots while flying individual colors. Did a silent wave curling on the wine-dark sea leave the depth of its words in its wake? Must we speak to be heard, perform to be known? If we don't know what other-than-human beings name themselves, we have Linnaeus and the way he parsed the       world.

a name's really: K. Un. From, "About a Child." Himalaya Poems. Los Angeles, 2011.
wine-dark sea: "And now have I put in here, as you see, with ship and crew, while sailing over the wine-dark sea to men of strange speech..." Homer, The Odyssey. 1-178.
If we don't know: See, U.K. Le Guin, "She Unnames them." The New Yorker, January 21, 1985.
