failure to communicate

she was fluent in several languages.

and yet, we couldn't
communicate.

she'd stare blankly at me, without
so much
a word, or shrug, or grimace,
or smile
upon her face. the eyes were dead.

she was a hard read.
but her actions spoke loudly.

I still feel the impact of
her screams.
