Slowly my mind
turns over the
new words and
phrases
of another tongue.
He who has another
language has another
mind
or so the
philosophers
tell us.
But my brain aches as
I learn to speak
Arabic
bin Araby
Hal tatakallamu Al Araby?
I do
but only a little.
Still I know
that soon my brain
will stretch and turn
and accommodate
this new
way of conversing
Inshallah.
