This Place

Shut in this place In close, closer, the walls move Waning light as darkness grows Ebbing joy and mounting woes Claustrophobia erecting and waiving its sullen hand Continually the mercury drops This place is getting colder A prisoner locked in a cell The weary heart longs to bail Out Precatory eyes long to see outside Outside of this place Away from the cold, dark, moldy dampness Nigh to warmth, radiance, and light Out Out of this place
