Death row

 



DEATH ROW


I brace myself
as I walk slowly through
the cold and dark alley
leading to death row.

I shut my mind’s silent cries
as I timidly approach
the dank and rigid cell
holding in its hapless inmate.

I tightly grip the bars
as I haltingly try to reach
the mind of the man
lying entrapped there.

I shamelessly shed tears
as I suddenly realize
the absence of his soul that has
succeeded in pre-empting death!
