‘Marsinah’ 

“If only, in this profound and spirit-filled silence, I could find true silence...
If only, in this silence, I could shut out the moans of hunger, the frightening screams, and unending pain...
If only, for a moment, I could feel that my body was still my own...”  Marsinah Accused by Ratna Sarumpaet, featured by the Manoa Journal's Silenced Voices, summer 2000; vol. 12, no. 1
