If I am buried
if secret or angry or voiceless
a flight of rage and love
labeled sister or daughter or lover or girl
friend in a whirlwind of epithets
which are True Names?
can you steal half a soul?
I Keep even the Consonants that are -not-
and liCK the envelope
Cling to those translated and bacK
lost in syllables once more Carved to fit in where I paperCut my tongue
at least there's solace
in the scraps of a nest.
forget parroting.
if I leap
let me die in pidgin
