the first language
the first language i understood is not the first language i spoke
yet the first language i understood is not the one i am fluent in nor spoken for long
the one i speak feels like a default. one with little care or beauty but one i can make sense of
the one i desire is one of power strength, simple complications
i am as content as i desire to be at this moment. its hard to talk of a memory when the strength of it does not continue on a daily basis
