“It is the first act. The primal thrust and scream.
Which is why the newborn’s immediate deed and concern
Is to cry out. To release with great violence from
Its tiny throat exploding with fire and caked blood,
A name to walk upon the earth.
It is the naming of paradisal beasts, the first duty
Of man upon rising from the dirt and God’s holy spittle.
But I did not know this at first.”
