A Fourth Solitary Confinement (Solitary Confinement 1-7)

The consistent chatter serves as

a distraction between meals.

As the evening travels on a safe

journey through time, voices


echo between each cell.



The darkness of a late evening,


descends like a mysterious phantom


that is on the prowl in search of


something that is quite elusive.



Renditions of daily routines


serve the purpose of extending the


monotony. The noise from next door


occupies  the moments when thoughts fade.



A shadow descends from a ceiling


as I am watched by mysterious eyes,


a suspended  camera is the spectator


as gentle knocks ricochet.
