26.2.12


you are screaming
your intentions
in a language I can’t decipher.

my dear heart’s lack of fluency in your tongue
is my weak shield for pretending not to understand.
not to understand what is obvious.
not to understand what I wish were otherwise.
not to understand what is not said in my language.
not to understand what you intend.

though, I know.
and so my shield is weak.
