When the Wind Spoke My Language

Poem 11Part II

A breeze crossed my cheek and the grammar of my life changed. No subject remained to steer the sentence, no object to receive it. Only the verb to Be conjugated itself in everything. Trees declined their names, and so became forests again. I listened with the whole body to what cannot be said. The wind translated me into its own forever.
