Vivamus.



Lingering sounds fade,

forts form by bricks,

But here I rise in the eternal silence

Soundly enough to break the forts.


I rise when the lake 

Freeze inside people’s heart,

When the chains

Clanging, lock people’s mind.

I rise when the eyes are covered,

When the mouths are sealed.


I rise alone, like a blade spiking into a dirty canvas

Sharply, unstoppingly. 

And there will be thousands of me rising

Once I break in the silence

Once I lift my voice up.
