My Tongue

My Tongue

At the end of
my tongue
            there are sounds

and in those sounds
            air

and in that sky
            birds,
            come again

summers long forgotten,
            far from home,
            free
                        in otherworld −

I find
            in ways
                        I remained
                                                overthere,
missed

much of this life,
shortened myself.

At the point of no return now,
            between regrets
            and no regrets −

never too old
to become

myself

Thank you for the stars and pins. This was written when my wife and I got back to a place where we came often when we were students of English Literature at the University of Amsterdam, about thirty years before and about a year after the major solution to all my issues with not really being alive (Womb Twin Survivor - you always stay connected to the lost twin and are therefore not completely in this world - si I shortened myself on Life). Language remains magical: sounds invested (infested?) with double meanings☸️

After a deep breath, I let...
