The Names We Give To Things

I know
a cat shouldn't be named Hummingbird
As a person shouldn't be named a bird
Isn't that the same thing
How should we then name things
If I never knew what to name what I felt for you
How am I suppose to know what name to give
to this now
It can't be a bird, or a cat named after a bird
It can't be a cat
it doesn't even have a name
yet - does it move, but isn't this old

some things can only be called
in silence when they are indeed
destitute of any absurd idea
of calling a cat
a bird
