What Am I But My Language

What Am I But My Language
David J Walker

What am I but my language
Skin and hair and bone
Utterance 
That which alone 
Without a single sound
Has made the man 
He whom you are wont 
to think I am
To blaspheme against the sky
Least of all to love and live
At last to live and die
