Love needs no language
Appetite for connections burn unabashedly, even as
The world is hard to gauge
Motor loops defy my heart
An unruly body defines my existence, hopefully
Love needs no language
Loneliness consumes lives long
Belonging a perennial struggle
The world is hard to gauge
Peripheral glances that hardly register
Cheers and tears, resounding in silence
Love needs no language
Lives not considered worthy
Crushing voices barely raised
The world is hard to gauge
Connections through struggles and solidarity
Giving to fulfill a life’s promise
Love needs no language even when
The world is hard to gauge
