Confinement 2013

Confinement

By Maureen Ucles

Kiss of death

Ruminating
Cursed

 Overpowering

Stench
Manifested

Confinement

Enter in
Stay a while

No way
OUT
Not this time
Not ever
Confinement

Stuck in

a hollow hellacious sarcophagus
smoldering, smothering

Overwhelming 

dreams laid bare
yet all
for naught
Does anyone care?
Confinement

Unknown

I am

stripped, jabbed,

bleeding,

stabbed

then dragged

on the pourous concrete

cruel, cruel slab
 Can somebody hear
Me?
Confinement

So dear

so near

yet muddled

befuddled

used then
abused

in the

deep, dark, deliriously
 damp

mold blackened

FOREVER-
Confinement

Putrid, pungent
palpable
odor
in
this rancid, disgusting

Hell!
Confinement


Perception
forcefully, convincingly,
tormented
 distorted
spinning out of control
in a perpetual
catatonic
state
waiting, waiting
Never, Never, Never
 resonates
this shall be
the
final interminable date
CONFINEMENT
