PRATIK HIGHLIGHT : IRISH POET MARIAN CLARKE'S POEM, "Silenced"

 

MARIAN CLARKE

 

Silenced

 

Speak, don’t speak

It makes no difference

For the anger that spews

Like a river of lava

Will find its way

 

Rising from the core

On its path of destruction

As fiber of her being

Quakes at its fury

 

Agree, don’t agree

No words will suffice

To soothe or placate

The fiery wrath

That lives in him

 

So invisible her voice

In silence remains

Praying for rain

To quench the flames
