Philomela from Disappointment by Fryktelig Støy

Raped children aren’t meant to live
Their truth should never be heard
Eyes blinded upon opening
Above circle shrieking birds

Await outside the body
At the bottom of the well
Until it was safe to return
And there was nothing more to tell

When the rains fell
The evidence was lost
The water rose and broke its banks
Barriers were crossed

My silence grew within me
A growing singularity
A soul consigned to purgatory
A body stripped of dignity

Echoes of a rage
That cannot be expressed
Whispers of a crime
The victim has confessed

Are the spoils worth the losses?
Only time will tell
But I saw them all for who they are
When the rains fell

In this dark and muddy expanse
Taste iron in the air
Bodies, bones, hearts and promises -
No one can repair

The sting of where the fist fell
The ache of a blackening bruise
The blade digging through flesh
Doesn’t hurt compared to the truth

I fear no fate - I walk alone
I never wanted fame
Circling above me
The birds call my name

There is no battle worth fighting
from which one walks away unscarred
When the rains fall -
The ground becomes hard

I will reserve the one who did this
A special place in hell
An eternal malediction uttered
When the rains fell
