If you speak in tongues
to cut how can I forgive you?
The child in her first
winter saw white and no sky;
the second snow, laughter
and joy. Now, many cold days
a type of blackness
that kills.
But the deaf child feels
flecks of radiance, knows
beauty in silence, touch.
The angry voices of
storm's violence
she cannot hear.
