About Accents Poem by Ivar Ivask
About Accents
As you change countries, residences, languages,
an accent remains which accentuates
your permanent condition.
As you adopt, adapt, adjust over the years,
your origins still show through
as on a well-scrubbed palimpsest.
As you try to bridge, combine, unite,
the very earth moves under your feet:
You write your farewells on continental drift.
