Speaking in Tongues

            Bhuti Kahna. Bhuti Kahna.
Ha li apa sonia. Sola
campa. Bhuti
Kahna.


Broken bits of nonsense
burst forth from lips
too long without
            love.

Spirit descends even as
she rises to non-occasion,
restless, but ready
            to serve.

Called to greatness, or
pre-ordained to death,
she is babbling like
            an idiot.

Heavens resound with
joy. Who can know
true meaning
            here?


A smile stretches skin
wrinkled by life’s
weariness. Words
            pour.

            “Bhuti Kahna. Bhuti Kahna.
Ha li apa sonia. Sola
,”
she sings through
            tears.
