Characters: Mariko
Warnings: Nope
I love the feel of words on my tongue
in my hands,
in the air around me,
bursts of colored light with meaning.
More than my family that I love,
more than dancing,
more than my friends,
I love the words themselves.
I hunger for them,
for how they weave tangled webs of life,
for how everything—the whole of sentient experience--
is founded on words.
It’s not just in spoken languages, or written,
or anything else common to human experience,
but the universe of language,
heavy, through my body
through my soul.
This is the thing that I love.
