Colonisations

Words
Are like colonisations
Each one containing colonisers
Each one defended
Protected by them
Each one containing
The history of colonisation

Word
In itself, a sound
A parrot can emulate
For humans
Is a territory, a property
The altar drenched, animated
By blood, of humans

Sound
In itself, communication
A dog can do
As word, for humans
Is a declaration
Of selfhood, isolation
Individuality

Upon which
Stands, the architecture
Of language
Morality

The illegitimate child
Of communication
Of sound
