Infinite new ones
old ones hang on
one after the next
bedroom door plaque
mounted porcelain title
need a place to squat?
in one high chamber
or that small enclave
places touched
linen laundered
nameless person
would sleep the winters
awake in spring.

Wrist minus tags
yet people call names
recollect dialtones
old calls
hung up lines
given one forgets
where to go next
after seasonal molts
winter turns to spring
whatever..
overlooked rooms thaw
from hibernated rests
sleeping travellers rise
distanced from
squatter views.

name list cleaned
cards neatly arranged
a name corrected
somewhere
it looks vaguely familiar
I mean the attachment
of a face
to a name..
when then they all awaken
after winter rests
slash open curtains
to greener gardens
pull open scant invites
travel somewhere
sit elsewhere
nomadically nameless
just the same

one forgets
the name
of ones call
distanced from the next.
Think life runs on titles
sleeps hard in winters
to awake with
a new name,
as old habits
get expressed
come spring;
the same
nameless folk rising
from heavy slumbers
