The Trilingual Poem

 

Blocked_

out of fear of comparison

the moment language transforms

into literal particles of the self.

 

Unblocked_

out of love for creation

the moment language is transformed

into the words of the life of tomorrow.

 

Patterns_

of lexical chunks

growing out of me.                                                                                         {English}

 

Signs_

of forgetfulness

glowing inside me.                                                                                         {Greek}

 

Symbols_

of identity

slipping out of my breath.                                                                              {Dutch}

 

[or else, the perks of being trilingual]
