Silence - Poem

I am grateful to Margutte for translating my poem "Silence", you can read the Italian here. If you prefer English, here it is below or read it on Margutte's pages here.


Silence
Does my silence
Fill the gaps
Where your fingers poked holes
Into your beautiful being?
Does it alleviate your pain your sorrow your guilt?
Then I will be silent.
Does my silence
Ooze out of your ears your eyes the pores of your skin
Cleansing impurities – I swear to you – were never there?
Then I will be silent.
Does my silence
Engulf you protect you blanket you like a new born babe?
Does it drown the angry voices in your head?
Then I will be silent.
Does my silence
Make you forget I am here?
My love; if it’s too heavy?
My touch; if it’s not soothing?
Does my silence
Now sing to you like birds?
Is it palpable like a stairway you can climb, climb, climb and fly?
Then I will be silent.
Is my silence precious priceless worthless?
I cannot tell.
You have shut yourself away
But if that’s what you
Need
To thrive
Then I will be silent.
