Notes About The Poem

Upon viewing Edvard Munch’s painting
The Scream

Scream of Silence

hear the scream oft' called silence

hear the scream when the cannons stop
hear the scream when a child dies
hear the scream when love ends

hear the scream
        of fear
        of loss
        of despair

listen to the silence
