#pajaro sunrise

[fragiledewdrop]

Isn't it amazing how, when you are exposed to multiple languages, it changes the way you think about reality?

I don't even mean when you learn a language well and it starts merging with your native tongue. More like...

...there are so many words for "apple" in this world, but to me the apple's truest name will always be "alma", because my Hungarian grandmother used to make me say it over and over and was sad that I never got the pronunciation exactly right. She was my "nagymama".

The first time I fell in love, it was with a girl of Chinese heritage, which means that, deep in my soul, the sweetest way to say "I love you" is 我愛你, both in Cantonese and Mandarin.

I was around German speakers a lot as a child, and I thought it was very funny that "sorry" was "Entschuldigung", so that's what I think every time I bump into someone on the street. I had a seizure at a hospital once, and when I came to the nurse started asking questions to see if I was all there. She showed me a pen and asked me what it was, and my immediate answer was "Kugelschreiber". She was so confused, but it took me a while to remember the Italian word, because "Kugelschreiber" has always been much more satisfying to think and say than "penna".

My Polish friend says "kurva" every time she swears (which is quite often), and so I have started saying that too.

Although, since I began studying French, my instinctual swear word is a very classy "putain de merde". When I am really happy, I am "aux anges". How are you? "Ça va". There is a game of cards that can be called many things, but to me it's "bataille corse", because I used to play it a lot with a French coworker in Ireland.

When I was little, I played almost every day with a girl who came from Venezuela. We could understand each other just fine, but once she asked me to pass her the "pajaro" and I didn’ get what she was saying. Eventually I understood she meant our Barbie's little blue plastic bird, and not a sparrow, which is what the word sounded like to me. So when I see birds in the trees? "Pajaros en las ramas". I had another friend whose surname was a play on the Spanish word for sunrise, which she was very proud of, and one of my favourite verses by Garcia Lorca is about the "breaking cups of dawn". When I watch the sun rise, the first word that comes to mind is "madrugada".

As a teenager, I read "Poor Folk" by Dostoevsky and there was a letter in which the protagonist wrote to his lover and called her "golubchik". I still think that's the sweetest pet name- along with "honey" in English.

After coming back from Japan, my brother has started slipping idioms in his speech when he is distracted. I couldn't understand them at first, but I thought it endearing, and now "wait a moment" is "chotto matte". He is my "ototo", "little brother".

A Romanian lady helps take care of my grandfather. Ever since I have met her, known her, helped her pick out gifts for the kids that she can see so rarely, taught her recipes and learned recipes frome her, "thank you" to me has become "mulțumesc".

A person I don't know is "ξένος (xénos)", the Greek for "foreigner, stranger", but also "guest, host, friend".

There are many more. I am a mosaic of the voices of the people I have met, the people I have loved. My own language is beautiful and it's home, but even its ancient, melodious poetry is not enough to encompass the beauty and tragedy of this world. And if I dream in English, curse in French, think of my former Christian God with a Hebrew name and of holiness as the prayer in Arabic over my sick bed that fell from the lips of a Malian refugee who had become a family friend, maybe I can come closer to grasp it.

"🎶Hold your horses Cinderella,

don’t rush for the crown.

Whatever you have lost,

you better forget it now.

Although it’s written in the back of your mind,

your mind is yours only....🎶"

Pajaro Sunrise - Good To See You

[sincerelypoetry]

Casual Saturday Morning High

The kisses went mild like a casual Saturday morning high

The idea of wanting to die used to scatter me often

 and I remember wondering if angel wings would ever truly make me fly

If clouds tasted like sugar cane, 

the lines he survived on each weekend those city nights

Uptown we danced with effortless surprise, 

see him and I were in love until the sunrise

Sleep for an hour and then come to realize an angel doesn’t carry me with those kinds of wings

And the ride back to Canal Street was bittersweet

 even to the one DJ’s song, we loved to sing

It’s the intentions we both fail to bring 

and that glass, broken like the feelings we forgot to mention, 

standing over Lakeshore Drive feet above into summer air, 

suddenly months ago doesn’t seem so fair

Then he calls back but I’ve got nothing to wear; 

even better 

his text reply followed by; so what’s good then?

“Lemme know you’re in, I only got a little bit of time so just hurry up! Hit me when you’re a block down my avenue, otherwise, don’t bother me I got more important shit to do!

I know you’re up, stop ignoring me!”

The honey bourbon talks of his last-minute regrets

They’re a perfect pair behind the grapevine but bitter, cherry blossom beauty complimented by that one curly piece of hair

You’re nice today, what’s the occasion?

“Babygirl please, you honestly give me such a hard fucking time all I want is happiness and pleasure and you bring the tiny details”

it’s almost believable 

but in an hour or two he’ll come to figure his glass is empty 

and I’m no one who can truly amaze him 

he’s said it all before although I stick around I don’t know what for, 

there’s so much, I search to discover more

He once was too dead inside to try and revive,

mas vale pajaro en mano que  cien  volando,

I wished him nothing but innocent life long bliss, 

in hopes, there’d be a night of regret he might one day come to miss,

a bow and arrow skinned the fish, Heaven and Hell built a bridge, 

and you’re the son    

I cannot tell if I’m burning to the stake, 

or you’ll discover my reflection waving back into the lake

I finally felt the tragedy we created among ourselves

 and I think we deserve a round of applause;

 I do ever so adore you the most 

and consider you the absolute worst, but it all balances out like the kisses 

that went mild, you breathe in deep and I take it in myself, 

there’s not a single damn regret, we’re just casual 

like a Saturday morning high

Come down and get me out Draw a circle in the clouds And take me right away. Say these leaves did fall for me round and round and round they spin the leaves wich lost their trees (...) “Come Down” Pajaro • Sunrise Foto 135 (VIII/19/18)
