Disciplinary Segregation #7

A change of scenery in the morning

resulted in a new perspective

a humming vent is still

persistent as the echo is amplified



Beauty is a rare occurrence in


such a place. A late evening voice,


turned a sullen face into a beam


such brief moments come


and go in the wind.



Momentary distractions fade


and the regularly scheduled charade


ensue, freedom is literally


at my fingertips and even the 


distant banter will eventually 


run its course.

Disciplinary Segregation Extended

The silhouette of a bird on the

window sill is paired with chirping.

The radiant morning

sun is impairing to the vision as 

the days crawl toward the edge of dusk.



Provisional blindness sharpens the


other senses and regrets fade


as nostalgia enhances the mood.

Warmth is forever enduring


even where there is metal. 



The days fade and the obscurity 


of the night is in a race against time


while in search of substance as 


a cycle travels in a 


circle only to meet its sudden demise.


Disciplinary Segregation Continued

The sky is a multi-layered shroud.

Thick blankets of gray, slowly

drift in the wind as the faint light

of a late morning searches for a 

place to make its presence known.


I can see the barren lifelessness

surrounding as my eyes peek

through a tiny hole in the window.

Faucets still run in the background

and they help to occupy the silence.


Yet, I find everything beyond

the gates, enchanting as I daydream 

about what it is like for birds of 

prey on days when there 

is a variable wind.
