Activity 5 Emotional infiltration You have two voices by Nancy Prasad You have two voices when you speak In English or your mother tongue When you speak the way your people spoke. the words don’t hesitate but flow Like rivers,like rapids, like oceans of sound, and your hands move like birds through the air. But when you take a stranger’s voice When you speak in your new tongue. Each word is a stone dropped in a pool. I watch the ripples and wait for more. you search in vain for other stones to throw. they are heavy. Your hands hang down. you have two voices when you speak; I have two ears for hearing. speak to me again in your mother tongue. what does it matter how little I understand When the words pour out like music And your face glows like a flame.
