Mad Max
Writing a (Poetic) God while Disbelieving
Lengua
I have forgotten how to speak
so I eat lengua, cow tongue. I wrap it in a tortilla.
The cow speaks for me, says: you ate my cheapest part,
says wouldn’t you rather taste my loin? says:
I was raised on corn and secret beatings,
says: I did not eat by choice, says:
they cut out my tongue only after they cut my throat,
says: it is good you do not speak, says:
I will speak with my grief-tongue for you. Savor me.
Glass: A Journal of Poetry is published monthly by Glass Poetry Press.
