How to Learn Another Language

Posted Jul 16, 2026 · 39 lines · 1 critiques

You are not a person
And I have to admit you're quite unimportant
But I need to understand you
You are not true, to me at least, just a concept at best

Still I write this poem
In search of his words unwritten. A linguistic reason to reason
I want to seed you into my id. He is mine yet you remain hermetic

Let's start with the eyes
I see... you unfolding different lights
My ears hear... you speaking different fears
This nose smells... different heavens and hells
On our tongues dancing... different tastes of bee-stung blistering
You feel like... indifference, between bare-boned skins, your kinship pronouns pronounce me different
I feel... differently desensitized

Read the rest of the poem Show less

I guess it's not up to me to decide
You bored me, down, loved me, bound, saddened me, profound. Then your sounds finally, amaze me... now you somehow... happen to me, wow...
At last an atlas! As more than just a concept, more than just an intelligible madness
I long to list, all the longest listless "nesses", of senses, lost in the derangement of translation

Something flüstert mit nassem Atem to my ears from horizons afar
Something d'invisible takes shape in le miroir noir
Что-то живёт за пределами all verb aspects
Something, a conundrum tốt gỗ đến mức it intoxicates bọn mọt sách
Something first becomes where ك و ن takes root
Something's born from Αζαθώθ's subjunctive moods...

Eureka!
It's an essence! An essence of a divine tree! The tree depicted in the Voynich script! Flowing and glowing in leaf veins when we kiss!
Its pretty pink pollen and petals are blown from bleeding bibliosmic blooms!
Its corrosive crimson sap coats bittersweet berries that swoon to croon!
Its volatile velvety ivy vines wrap in vortexes around charcoal-charred branches!
On top of the universe bursts a trysting trunk of callused love!
With runic rings of realities inside and lush lichen life lapping wet white against its girth!
Only to slow the decay of fractal frays that constantly suck in all primordial souls and clays!

There's not much left for me to say, beneath your wordy wood and shady shades. How you smother me with your humbling hähs

So I don't think I can speak your language
If I'm destined to be non-native, let us steal like great artists
I am his, yet you remain another lover
However
You are my person. My raison d'être. My reason to reason

"Ouch, the ending of this completely broke me. Beyond the wild energy and the sharp edges, there’s such a poignant, exhausting search for peace and self-love here. A really powerful, unapologetic piece of writing."
