SilenceA Poem by NancySilence reigns eternal On the lips of one On the tongue of the child Who night after day pleads But her muffled cries rises Only to stop flight in midair by the pillow Pressed tightly to her mouth by the one who sired Struggling in vain, curses rain Hope is the air crushed tightly by the hand That plunges his seed into his seed His grunts and writhing akin to his misdeed Shadows are downcast, the wind howl at this craze Bares its teeth by the rattling of the window blade For order has been upturned, the universe bleeds From the thrust of the dagger to her chest As she cries for her child who lies helpless under one who’s heartless © 2014 Nancy |
