Macaronic (adj): Involving a mixture of languages.

Polyphonic, different syllabic sets
Music, photos, posture, sex

Love, politics, violence,
Whatever it is that Brando says
Whatever it is you're saying to me
When your eyes glow like that

The touch, the silence,
The long car rides
The wind between the limbs
The grass across your freckles
The sun on your toes.

The power lines stretched out
And the way they crumple under
The weight of ice,

Katakana, Sanskrit,
Jackfrost.

Tongues, all. Strange, and familiar both
The ones tracing your jawline,
and the ones hanging out the side
Of the dog's mouth.

I very much like the ending of this one.
