The Nacreous Oughts

03 December 2005



 'Each of us has a name
 Given by God
 And given by our parents

 Each of us has a name
 Given by our stature and our smile
 And given by what we wear

 Each of us has a name
 Given by the mountains
 And given by our walls

 Each of us has a name
 Given by the stars
 And given by our neighbors

 Each of us has a name
 Given by his sins
 And given by our longing

 Each of us has a name
 Given by our enemies
 And given by our love

 Each of us has a name
 Given by our celebrations
 And given by our work

 Each of us has a name
 Given by the seasons
 And given by our blindness

 Each of us has a name
 Given by the sea
 And given by our death'

--Zelda (tr. Marsha Falk)
