Imprisoned In The Cell Of The Mind... - Poem by John Tansey
Imprisoned in the Cell of the Mind
This loneliness,
Its exile,
Unto a solitary cell.
Twenty-thee hour lockdown,
One in the yard
Then back to the Cell…
A memory cell
of the mind.
This is where I exist, subsist,
Confined,
To do my penance,
The spare change of my sentence,
All the while, dying sweetly,
In her arms of reminiscence…
