'It’s the third act of the play, my part is given...'

Poem: The new language

'It’s the third act of the play, my part is given...'

by Dana Littlepage Smith 15th November 2024

It’s the third act of the play, my part is given

in a language I’ve never seen. Vowel ripe, 

mustard seed split, the OOOs of it now grow.
