Say Her Name in the Quiet After Dinner (9:30pm)

I gather and weave dailiness
into the fold of words

and the first act of gathering gathers on itself.
As I write this

Frank sings about Kate Green's leaves.
And now,

there's another bud where once there was no green.
In saying her name

we conjure her as the ancients wished not to conjure
bears.

OED Etymology for bear: "Indo-European base of brown adj., thus originally meaning literally ‘the brown one’ (compare bruin n.), or perhaps < the same Indo-European base as ancient Greek θήρ wild beast (see thero- comb. form), although some have objected to this on phonological grounds.
The word probably arose through taboo avoidance (reflecting the danger posed by the animal)." An insight from Andrew Krivak, author of The Bear (2019).
