PRISON POEMS
i
ghosts fritter away

shadows dream
of redemption

spirits breathe the blood
of executions

the state is a leper
destined to poison dreams

ii
prison filled
with lambs
while outside it
snows, it snows

prisons filled with snow eyes
while outside it
rains blood

prisons filled
with bloody snow
while outside the
sun sinks into the
pit of the world

iii
pink doves
in prison;
greyness trying
to love the sky

rose fish
in prison;
stillness trying
to embrace the sun

flesh nude
in prison;
harshness trying
to seduce death

iv
ice shrouds
the prison
filled with
habitual acts

rain greets
the convicts
who wish to
transform death
into the sun

summer reeks
of the stench
of prisons
filled with
the pestilence of
the regime
