Mother Tongue.

She likes attention.
Was that all it was with me?
Perforated paper, torn clean—
just a strip in the binding.
A reminding—
of notes exchanged
when we were strangers
in a foreign land, sharing
the same mother tongue—
just familiar noise, warm spit,
slick on the pages
wrapped around me.

But I like attention.
Maybe that’s all it was for me.
