Prison Wall Graffiti
'Since I was thrown inside
the earth has orbited the sun ten times'
-Nazim Hikmet
The distance between
your lips and my nicotine
kiss are telephone wires
and space sattelites
Boisterous laughter
of prison guards and iron bars
taunt the heart
not to go any further
than these
written verses
In deep slumber
my tongue searches your snake-
like tongue twisted-twin
of mangrove brances
Within my prison cell
eternity manifests itself
as wrinkles and crumpled pices of paper
useless graffiti-unending
love letters
