SILENCE STINKS LOUDER

They close their eyes
or shut them with rupees
matters little

but I worry
when with sight in their hands
they free shadows

of legless men
who denude files in sun
and smell a beast.

Freedom to act
means freedom to harm as
silence stinks louder

then protest noises
lumped in chaos or monologue
quicked for a quid?
