    years - silence - bars

     Silence 

    bars...

    inmates. 
    ...

    years wringing soundless...

    two trees...blanket ...of years. 

    between....

    dusted with shadow ...thick powder snow -deaf

    words fall 

    words fail 

    maximum security silence- prison

    distance in inches ...shouts- deadened ...mist fingers- claw ears raw

    still sound -less

    Can you -hear?

    This is an excellent written piece depicting life on the inside and life on the outside, two completely different worlds pertaining to two people on each side of the thick glass. Great write!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
