I came into the cage at the age of 32, today, December 21, 2011, I am 61 years of age. I have been living the very human dam of an unnatural life. Blocked off from the very meaning of real love. Between, and along the gray decades of high, hard, walls….. the cries of men are many, sounds of the very worst, few sounds of the very best….. Last night I made myself wait til the barren hour of midnight. My strange eyes locked upon the clocks dials. Whence, the unfeeling arms both reached directly up….. Suddenly, I felt the air ease from my lungs. And no, not even any kind of whisper from an Angel came, came low and calling down the cell block tier….. And all I could do was stand in the center of the cell’s uncaring four walls as if a mad man. Just standing. Just stretching out weary arms as far as I could….. And opened up my hurting hands….. And, by God, I tried, believed, I could hold onto the night….. Hold it back, never bringing the dawn. For dawn only means….. each new day I die a bit more…..
