A short poem about language relief
Published in

I take off my English
and put it on the coat rack.
It sits there, ready for my next trip.
I walk to my closet
With light steps
Unencumbered
I pull a cozy nightdress
A second, third, fourth language
Not fully feathered but comfortable
I settle in, my feet up on the recliner
