the stars speak in your tongue by Razvan Tupa
A Romanian body is the other
to whom you transfer all that you are
you always had a cousin at school who’d seen who’d done it all
he was the Romanian body for each of us
who’d trafficked in luxury cars for each of us
as our debt as our possibility
the same for any fear in the hair on the back of your neck
maybe one or maybe many
whom you dreamed and
this dream is what you’ve been doing
since you woke up till late at night
then at a very clear moment
my phonetic shadow falls everywhere
with a breeze of touch
maybe one or maybe many tongues stuck out
into the air our duty is pleasure
slowly on the roof of our mouths the stars
will shine
