TCK Language.
À chaque fois que
Ich lese den Titel der ‘Challenge’
todas las palabras que se quedan en mi mente
se sortent en même temps,
à travers mes doigts qui restent
auf dem Laptop.
Que està mierda.
Morgens spreche ich Deutsch, aber
Dès que je me trouve dans les rues, ou au marché
No puedo resistir los pensamientos que mi aparecen
In all the languages I’ve allowed into my
Heart.
Herz.
Cœur.
Corazòn.
Cuore.
(Sì. Ho dimenticato. C’è anche il mio cuore che vuole stare sentito.)
Je bois un verre de vin blanc,
(Oppure due, trè, più...)
Eine einfache Bewegung.
Mais je n’arrive pas
A sacar de mi mente la idea
Que es el español,
And English,
That bring me home.
Family. País.
Mais j’ai fait de l’amour
en français.
Ho trovato i migliori amici del mondo
in italiano.
Ich möchte mein Leben
auf Deutsch
schaffen.
(Pinche alemàn no está de acuerdo
des règles de la poésie,
in questo caso.
Was kann ich tun?)
Language! For others, a hobby.
For me, everyday.
Two as a child.
Five as an adult.
Language, everywhere.
Every day, every night.
But:
My friends, my lovers, are the same.
We just throw words at each other,
and hope for the best.
