Stepmother Tongue

@bosonbrain

I no longer speak
My native tongue.
She feels foreign
Like a steroid growth
Ever sprouting empty plosives
And vowels uncommitted.

MORE FROM THIS POET: A selection of my micropoetry!

  • Rewind >

    • I hold onto
    My plagiarised positives
    A Möbius strip rerun
    Of broken record lessons
    I’ll do better next time.

  • Pierce >

    • Poets make mirrors
    Shatter
    Into rose-tinted shades that
    Pierce,
    The moments made for you.

  • Patterned >

    • We are patterned beings
    Staccato drafted in layers
    Of complicated carbon past
    And cross-stitch seamed
    By our choices.
