Language says: Before language
there stands a language. Language is tainted,
traces from over there.
Language says: Listen now.
You listen. There has been an echo.

Take silence and try to be silent.
Take words and try to speak.
Beyond language, language is a wound
from which the world flows and flows.
Language says: Is, Is not, Is,
Is not. Language says: I.
Language says: Let’s speak you,
let’s touch you, let’s say
you have said.
