I have learned to unlearn my native language. Have felt my mouth fall open, glazed eyes. Breath light. I have slept inside some other body. Bring on this confusion! No stopping! On the opaque wall of my heart, on the forward leaning step, twice against twice, music untold spoke. Will I ever know this joy completely? This is the way I have chased it, as a dog chases a singing rabbit.
