Plain Tongues

Summary

We cobble up a language on the fire

forge words for voll and leer

for sense and sound,

for song is sinnvoll. Signs are soulful, unless sent

from cities we've not sanctioned. Stop singing,

it confuses. We must speak in our

plainest tongues, from our palest our

silkiest bodies. Listen to famous mouths

for our messages. We will never complicate

our meanings. We'll make all clear,

in small words from spun worlds.

You won't even know we're here.
