Words and sentences

With my held tilted up, I see the sky, and think suddenly of the richness and depth of words, momentarily feeling that I can grasp the infinite.
Yet when considering both sky and words, only the latter seem even the least bit pliable.

I am ashamed that I find the ability to form things appealing
a person that professes to desire the infinite and the unnameable!

And even though I don't consider it possible to bend the world around me into squares or rectangles
(or maneuver it into a shape where if twists back onto itself),
this feat seems entirely manageable with sentences.
I need only imagine it doing so,
and find it unnecessary to do anything but describe it.
