Pilgrimage: 48 Days: Language

the language of the Mass
has changed
it tracks the ancient Roman speech
and proclaims that we are all men
again
I try to accept this light blow
this small paper cut
and simply listen
from the margin
again
if it were only a call to listen
to pay strict attention
to the word I say
I would not feel this pain
again
