The silent scream
                                 --- Claudia Piccinno



Burns this atavic, undeserved evil,
the soul of a mother is suffering
in the silent scream,
her patience wavers,
her strength
rises from the ashes.
We are together
once again,
an obvious fact
for the majority,
not for us
we who after the dark
dreamed of light.
And we are here
In the shadow cone
of my fears,
in the bright wake
of a new aurora...
waiting the day
to develop.
