Pictures of your prison cell.


Framed and Hanged.

She is framed for the crime
In red-stained maple cut catty-corner,
Matted, non-glossy,
To keep the shame one-dimensional.

Behind the glass hung plaintively
in the parlor, she's
Latticed diagonally by the bars
in her one-foot prison window,
so the viewer's line of sight
Is drawn to the lightest part
of the picture--
The whites of those scared eyes.

[She would say she's sorry
For what she did not do,
But typography on a piece of art
is just so damn tacky.]

A record of life. Crime sticks with you through out your life.

An understandable poem - but powerfully put across. Very good effort, I enjoyed reading that poem of yours.
