Another Silence

A wordless prison captures me.
The golden ruler slapped my hand
and forbade the unheard scream.

Take away my tongue and render me mute;
I have nothing worthwhile to say.
My syllables shrivel and blow away.

Caught in the aftermath of blockage,
I shiver in unrelieved tension.
No one would hear me any way.
