Conjugal Visit

a crowd of visitors line the walls while children adjusted hats scarfs slips and garments many mother's were distraught the infamous feelings of it all barbwired fences surrounding the entire place my mind felt gruelsome as thou Alcatraz was in view in an empty revealing way surrounding me in a tangible animalistic calm the time came he was brought out in chains in a matter of seconds I lost my breath panting slowly holding onto unfelt emotions beyond the gates a few coke machines seemed to be deecorating thee intriguing breakroom silence sounded as I spilled my drink creating an out cry of shameful sighs as I notice the clock on the wall and the watches on the wrist of overworked guards my heart sang out a quiet song of thee sheer absence of humanity humbly we embraced awaiting visiting hours to final end
