Private Language
In / creasing thought, the self
doubles / folds
inwards,
suppose a private language
against the world’s shared grammar —
self-authored, a book
written for no .
one.
A page
torn away, stains
in the margins, a footnote
wrongly numbered, the letter ‘i’
faintly printed.
Such is the pain of the man
who yearns
for his whole self
between the covers of biography
and meets only
estrangement.
