A sunbeam touches wrinkled skin
a crumpled old leg unstretched in years
Crocked and deformed – bony old skin
festered breath escape the tomb
Curled scream in pain
down from the underworld
or is it madness?
imprisoned in a dream
caged and locked away
damned forever
Few gaps to breath
in a narrow grave
Soil hates the living
Nails stropped on wood
try to escape
broken forever
The sound of anticipation
halls through the secret maze
those who were locked here for decades
finally step through the gate
Crippled bodies driven upwards
enforced by a poisonous haze
not made to live in sunlight
… forever enslaved
Stuck between the lines
infertile land
no turning back
the way is blocked
stuck between the lines
They can’t see – a change awaits
they’re blind, they’re stunned
not time – to think
Bodies fill the floor
pushing from the ground
deformed bones
Air’s wafting by the heat
groaning remains
burning peeling skin
Bodies fill the floor

the lines
