here in are we,
boxed words the
only nourishment,
the word torture,
dripping...dripping,

innocent am I,

yet scarred by shock,
hoarse from screams,
nails peeled back
exposing epithelium,
angry...raw,
throbbing pain,
yet I did not tell,
only proclaimed...

innocent am I.

feeling along
perimeters,
no weak links,
not a singular opening,
to be found.
I don't belong here,

innocent am I.

can't feed upon words
of turpitude...
nor grovel,
nor watch vermin
hunting crumbs...

my dreams escape,
break through,
beyond the walls
silently,
as I beat upon the box,
declaring again
and again...

innocent am I.
