english tongue -- wigglish
a snake a fish
the grammar-bird flying over
the boundless melody
of liquid phrases
the hungry snake
the slippery fish
the bird of steel
demands the grain the pearls the words
english -- the rarefied mountain air
english -- a rock on my chest

I'm teaching ESL this term. I may read this poem to my students. (so many poems of yours to read!) Thank you. C.o.S.
with Tris, Senna. I've had many Polish friends before, and from the sound of their language I find it amazing when they master English. Tho from the sounds of Polish you'd think it wouls be easier! Nice work here; very short and meaningful. Thanks,
Boo
I'm the first to comment. I really loved this minimalist approach to the English language as heard by the foreign ear.
