Name


 

I have often felt my name

to be a poor fit

The sound is not round enough

long enough, punctuated, emphasized

The vowels do not follow the curves and edges of my being

But then, how could a name fit me?

A soul is too vast, too incomprehensible

to be found nestled within seven letters
