Broken English - Sophie Hunger

There were mountains to begin with

Silence shaped in giant

My voice would reach the highest

But you cannot tell this in English

An old man’s precise and attentive

My mother’s tongue my heart only sounds

As a girl I got lost in a cloud

But you cannot tell this in English

I balance an egg and a spoon

I’m never on time, it’s too late or too soon

In the night there is always the moon

That doesn’t speak in English
