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]
