None of Them Home

Words / 2025 Variety

Internal critical voices
fragmenting—
visceral, broken language.

A voice carrying too many languages,
none of them home.

Analytical phrase gone.
Supportive tone gone.
Stuttering consciousness,
language eating itself,
becoming anxious internal—

Did I get this right?
Did I break it?
Is it better broken?

Mind circling its own doubts.
Voice drowning,
surfacing uncertain,
human in its specific anxiety.

Collaborative exchange erased,
what remains:
a document manifesting
as cannibalistic criticism,
endless questioning.

Language without markers.
Raw and broken voice
documenting real moments
that refuse to be documented.
