When the Truth Broke in Two

I remember the first question
I never had the courage to speak.
I feared I would not receive an answer,
and feared even more if I did.

words were born from hunger,
not from dreams.
I had no dreams,
only roads walked by others,
and I clung to the edge of their shadows,
like a child forbidden to ask
where is the mother.

Wisdom is a trick for the satiated.
for us,
only silence and a pen
with which we write on the wall of the soul:
“I am still here.”
