Until he named the horse 
                               horse, 
hoofs left no print on the earth, 
manes had not been invented, 
swiftness and grace were not married.

Until he named the cow; 
                               cow,
no one slept standing up, 
no one saw through opaque eyes, 
food was chewed only once.

Only after he named the fish,
                                       fish,
did the light put on skins
of yellow and silver oil,
revealing itself as a dancer
And high-jump champion of the world,

Just as later, 
he had to name the woman 
                               love
before he could put on the knowledge 
of who she was, with her small hands.
