No Dazing In Hell (a poem about death row)

 

 

Daze gone by,

Mind in hell,

Here I am nothing,

A body,

A shell,

Hated and scorned,

My soul unadorned,

Fury and malice,

I drink from this chalice,

It's fate, I surmise,

As the days slow down,

A heavier heart

In the next cell abounds,

His birthday will come,

We are saying goodbye,

And my day will be next,

The calendar will fly,

The sun will rise,

And minutes draw near,

And the day will bid riddance,

Along with my fear.
