Begone, begone!My mother was a dictionary.She knew words that have been spoken for thousands of years.She knew words that will never be spoken again.I wish I could build tombstones for each of those words.Maybe this poem is a tombstone.My mother was a dictionary.She spoke the old language.But she never taught me how to say those ancient words.She always said to me, “English will be your best weapon.”She was right, she was right, she was right.__________________________________https://lithub.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/you-dont-have-to-say-you-love-me-198×300.jpgFrom YOU DON’T HAVE TO SAY YOU LOVE ME by Sherman Alexie.
