Used To Be a Wall Flower
Used to be a wall-flower when I was young
Look at me now, noted for much doo-doo I've flung
But still a gentle soul
A yummy casserole
Of brawn and mushy stuff, it's my mother tongue...

Pale Daughters Part Three
Pale daughters beam in the miers
their freckles shine galore
eating sorbet all day
They skip to school
trampling on the dandelions
They are the daughters of pan
musically adroit yet quite forlorn
Their mother tongue is telling half truths
to their peers
half awake they want to wrest your pulse
They cannot be considered inconsequential...

Ashamed
Afraid to ask, the white
fingers, to write a name on black paper.
The milky way.*Janus will
trap the light and open the doors.
War of words was not
going to stop. The alphabets do-
not pronounce well. The-
rape, the brutality, the mutilated death ?
The mother tongue weeps.
The masks will write a history, in exile.
Throwing the coins ? The
real face becomes a poem, lifting the wrists.

Mother Tongue

that kept us apart; kept in purity,
spoke out in purity.
We played Barbies in a tree that
bordered each side, not knowing

zone.
Our Barbie world was created;
dresses hung on branches
little mirrors for wee doll hands;
leaves assigned our closets.
I gibbered and you jabbered, and
the worst thing happened, I learnt
English, but what happened to your
French?
Language traveled through the holes
of our steel-coiled fence....
