She Walks in Silence
By Cinara
She Walks in Silence She walks in silence with head bowed looking at the floor, always looking downward, never into my eyes. In tunnel vision With no peripheral awareness of those around her What truth does she hide from me that she can’t look for fear that I’ll see deep into discovery into the mirror of her mind exposing the inner self So young to have a tortured eye hiding truth hiding pain of experience and horror What shall I do to make her look at me and perhaps smile a smiling eye so remote from her thoughts not yet free to laugh And I, curiously watch her hoping she will slip and her glance will accidentally meet mine I watch her and wonder what’s behind the Cambodian eye that cannot look up not yet not yet ready to lift itself from the comfort and security of the tiled floor not just yet Written March 3rd, 2002 © on Mar 03 2002 01:17 PM PST 0 • 1
