(Un)Mute

(It takes one move to overturn things!)

Time(s) immemorial

Are Spectators to her silence
Borne by her patiently.
Her voiceless voice nurtured
And moulded
To match his loquacity.

Fearing his tongue lash
She muted herself
Far beneath 'Echo'
To please his (wounded) Narcissism.

Until one day,

The 'Laugh of Medusa'
Drained off the scream out of him.
