Marisa Papen - poet, artist, activist & naturalistthe curves of your words can tell stories beyond you
they can also convey nothing at all
.
yet here I am
writing you
you live through me
and I live through you
.
my eyes use you to make sense of what I see
you have grown inseparable from the idea
.
language, what do you mean?
are you the truth of all things?
or just the title of a song?
.
as the mast of my memory
the translator of my heart
the narrative of my dreams
you have painted a world of words for me
you have given my tongue sounds of knowledge
but without you,
would I bow with gestures of universal knowing?
.
language, don’t just teach me how to speak
teach me how to understand the voice of the wind and the trees
