Analysis of Silent Scream
Barbara Berrier 1974 (Puerto Rico)
The breath it’s taken
The action it’s done
As the thoughts unfold
As the thoughts turn
As the seeds emerge
As the heartbeats
The hands hovers
The chest lifts
Facing up from away from the ground tides
The breath of the silent scream it’s pushed into drowning tears, over the ashes of those whom once breathed.
