Analysis of "Learning Persian"

"Learning Persian" by Reza Shirazi is a poem that describes the experience of somebody who tries to speak a language after a very long time. The author manages to use words in a way that is totally unique.
     For example, the line "A hibernating language lying in the dark corners of my mind, awakens slowly after a ten year sleep" (Shirazi, stanza 1), is basically saying that this language, Persian, has not been used in 10 years and is sitting in the back of the narrator's mind. The next stanza, "Naked, bones creaking, it crawls forward, searching for the lost pieces of clothing in forgotten nooks and crannies" says that the narrator is attempting to speak the language again. The personification in this stanza allows the reader to picture how the author's experience is going. The audience can see that although the narrator hasn't used this language for 10 years, he/she is trying to piece it together, bit by bit. In the third stanza, the author says that the narrator has started to speak the language again, albeit not that fluently. This is shows with the words "It ventures out on a wave of words." The final two lines of the poem, "The world lies before it waiting to be sung" show that there are a world full of opportunities with the narrator's ability to speak this language.
