They say

in space

no one can hear you scream

-

I note

every day

I cannot hear my neighbour cry out

-

In agony, in torture

being applauded, or put down

their worlds shattered, their territories strongly

-

So I learn and learn

to listen to the silence; hear past shouts, chatter

-

hoping my echoes, words I write

will renew our song
