So quiet
Ignored
overlooked
perceived as weak
diffusively torn
So quiet
Curled in a fetal
she keeps
her small body
cradled
in her corner
So very quiet
Weeping
without sound
hair matted
unclean
damp
tears and sweat
So entirely quiet
In a world
where no one
stops talking.
Where is her voice
Is it caught
in her grieving throat
or in her thudding head
Where is her voice
So very quiet
Not yet, dear one
Some day soon
Very soon.
