Ethnic Anxiety–Post Big Fat Greek

In the intercultural contact zone

languages dive in power

splatter implications unknown.

– Τachycardia. . .

You intoned against an imaginary chart

amplifying the contours of your heart.

– Ταχυκαρδία, from Greek!

I raced to match the climactic peak

to ruin alas the sultry trick.

Τhe heart racing in the beat of self-defeat

– Taquicardia too!

I rushed to your mother tongue awkward retreat.

In the intercultural contact zone

fingertips exclusivity dethrone

affinities zigzag

dictionaries tag:

ager alacer animus

agriculture alacrity animosity

aguacate cocoa mandarina

αβοκάντο κακάο μανταρίνι 

αρχέτυπο ακροβάτης αθλητής

archetype acrobat athlete

In the intercutural contact zone

where there can be no room for a singular one

absolutely none,

one language leads to another one,

tongues entangle in arches

of triumphant archeries

intermingling histories

splashing cherries

heart attacking hierarchies

spelling the taste of your heart

mi corazón καρδούλες μου arteries of art.
