My first language
My first language was split
in two by a white light that
revolved around my head
like a halo -
the luminescence sparked down
like rain drops lit from within.
My first word was star,
a real white prism of light
that lead me up to a cloudless sky.
A silver and blue nebula followed
me around like a child dragging
a blanket behind her.
