Solitary Confinement 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.
