“fundamentally,” she said, 
“i think you have always been
poet first.”


  the last dregs of August sun
were bleeding through a sky like
tissue paper, 
and we were trapped in the yellow
amber of fading light. 
 
i remembered a boy
about whom
it was so hard to write;

  and then it struck me
the writing was slow not because
i was stuck, but because
i was using the wrong language.

  so now we go back. 
,to the mother-tongue. 
 
“tell me the story, 
again;
this time in poetry.”
