Solange Loe-Sack-Sioe
She moved very silently, afraid to make a footstep noise.
She stood at one spot the whole time as if she was furniture.
And no one was aware that she stood there .
No one cared.

When you’re not allowed to express yourself
In any given situation, in any kind of relationship you stop existing.
When your word or your opinion doesn’t matter, you don’t matter!
He who isn’t heard isn’t seen either.
That means you lose your sense of self worth.
We must never allow such a situation to happen to anyone.
We all are equal and we must love and protect each other.


Silent is the one who can only speak after getting permission.
Lost inside because in the world outside he doesn’t exist.

Equal rights for everyone.

fray narte
the quiet thinly films over these sheets;
i press my cheek on the pillow — soundless, it hears me.
i rest my dusk-dimmed mourning on quiescent tiles,
and the crickets cannot stand the
silence — it recognizes now the thoughts,
much better than poems can.

i have taken this wordless fall,
hands tied behind my back,
feet tied, tongue-tied
down these sweet, senseless,
daffodil deliriums

i have taken this wordless fall
away, unseen, i land in grace —
this is the last noise i will ever make.
