language & hearing

in other language
i easily find the words
to define myself.

i'm too used to think with the voice i was born in
accustomed with the same topic and sense
tired of all the meaning i can make.

and i'm not afraid of making mistakes using different words than my own
not scared of being misunderstood or taken for granted 
hoping of some new ideas that will pop out even if i don't think them.

i'm free in these new vocabulary. no boundaries
to report to or to be stuck in. just feelings
drawn in this fresh lines letters reveal to me.

i cannot relate to anyone but myself with my maiden voice.
i can ask no advice nor older council, newborn
inwards and forth my own universe.

hear me out!
if there is anyone else speaking the same tongue.
be kind and listen to me, decent to reply.

i'm all words and ears
hearing as clear as ever
speaking for the first time.

stumbling in English

ion bitzan - sublime

my tongue 
is searching 
for some sort of language 
to be able to speak in.

wracked among words
of no specific culture,
belonging to no one
and all
at the same time
i do find myself.

nobody told me
when i first came here
the need to be assigned
could ruin
even speech. 

 why do i bother?
oh, the hell, why do i bother?
heaven and hell alike
need no confinements.
nor do i.

God
bears
different names
only because of us.
He's still the same
with no other otherness
than the names we named Him.

what art configuration
do i need to perform
so everyone
can hear me?

can you imagine
the titanic battle
that crams into my mouth?
can you hear my tongue breaking?
hoping to find the right words...
words... words... words...
my poor sweet Hamlet
how do i catch thy arduousness.

now is the time for our battles
the language to be broken
into so many pieces
there'll be no language left
no more!

all understanding all.
no boundaries left to cross
not even words.

and
then
i can rest my tongue.
