When the Motherland

Finds Home in

Your mouths,

My heart Beats

as fast

as You Speak.

I Hear

the Sun

You Both

Grew up under.

Teach Me

to Taste

Light

on My

tongue;

so that

every time

I Open

My mouth,

I Meet You

Back Home.

 

for my grandparents

in memory of nana (1938-2017) and tata (1938-2018) (far right)
