Undeniable Poem by Conceição Lima

Undeniable

Rating: 3.0


By dowry I received you at birth
and I recognize your speech in my voice.
At your core, like the seed in the fruit
the verse in the poem, I exist.

Seaside house, unchosen source!
I belong to you and call you mine
like my mother whom I did not choose
but nonetheless love.
