Terrorist act



The silence of a poet is a terrorist act,

said Dan Fante.

But I want to say 

the silence of the woman is a suicidal act,

the devil’s supper,

a stranger’s door,

a man’s property,

a bitch,

the mother of your children.

 
Whatever they call her,

she doesn’t utter a word 

even if they try to kill her like a mosquito,

she tosses like a scared bird on a tiny branch.

Dan Frante is silent, the woman is silent too,

unaware that omission is a terrorist act

according to international conventions.
