Broken Silence Poem by Nicholas Damion Alexander
Broken Silence
Now suddenly the silence is broken
By two contrasting sounds:
One, the conversation of a man and woman
Of how-did-do and health.
The other, a woman scolding a child
Crying to prevent chastisement.
The beatings fall lashes
In the distance
As the sound of conversation melts
To sun-lit air.
The breeze blows
Drying wet clothes on the line.
