On Being From “Cincinnati”
Dialects
are forgotten
across the river
Still I can’t help
but let the words
fall from my tounge
Despite all the years
I spent pretending
my heart still points
towards home

I connect with your poem. A northerner, I still can’t get my mouth to turn southern.
I really like that last stanza.
