back to silence

~ Sonya Kassam

if you turn your back to silence
it makes you complicit in its cover up
karma filters through time
transcends the loudest denials

if you turn your back to silence
it will pursue and shroud you
when you need it
…the least

and…
if you turn your back to silence
under assumption it means subjugation
you have never before experienced
a woman scorned
have you?

I have taken “a woman” here as the representation of any oppressed people
