She Screamed At The Wall
by J. Guenther

ella grita a la muralla!!
and I can only stand on the other side,
listening to her tear-filled screams
and hopes of vindication.

cmo puedo ayuderla??
Her bold letters stamped like sharpened knives
or the tears that form waves in a lake...

aqu estoy,
on the other side,
doomed to hear these cries again,
repeating, cursing echoes...

y ella est all,
so far away--
I want to console her
[theres so much anguish]

So what did I do?

Re
(I laughed)
as loud as I could so she could hear me.
Re
(I laughed)
loud enough to hear her sobs disappear,

but, when I stopped,
when my laughter died,

ella grita ms alta que m.
