“The Un-Naming” / Memorable Fancies #2298

There are things we no longer have names for, things we’ve banished from our minds, things that caused this – horror – to come upon us.

At first, long sharp-edged knives were un-named, and then drugs that set our minds on fire and caused us to kill those we loved – for these, too, we held un-naming ceremonies.

And guns.

And those who sold us all these things.

And we who – bought and used them.
