Tongue

‎"Du er så dejlig. Tak min skat."
Words I no longer hear.
A language, alien once to my ears, haunts me now
Like a half forgotten dream.
Time spent in a foreign land
Seeps into your bones and blood.
Tourist is a term for those
Without time enough for introspection
Innoculated against seduction
By their return tickets.
But then again, the tourist
Always goes home.
"Du er så dejlig. Tak min skat."
