How about my country-
the continent of my person?
what language fills my mouth
and moves my teeth and tongue?
What words have I earned
and invented out of necessity?
Which words are for beauty,
unfurling in a simple spectrum?
What message was already written on my bones
in a tight script?
And how do we translate original, personal words?
We are left with a language without audience.
