PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Silence

billowing, bustling

abstinent

memories with no dialog

the actors on “vacation”

and a little girl

waiting, fidgeting

on end about

the crumbs of starvation

sticking to the table

no knives to feed her

shaking, vomiting,

knowing:

                                                     you’re at another house

                                           raping another girl

                                             hording another life

that isn’t mine
