Amelia Diaz Ettinger
I am forgetting words native words, first language words, words filled with mother’s milk. They left without notice. Sin adiós, after all a diós is to god. One day they stood, and disappeared like this morning’s fog --thick and eloquent like soup, so quickly insubstantial I wonder if I dreamt the fog, the words. Simple words like hum and antimony, what made me think of them? Their absence? I want the need for their song.
