In silhouette
Death’s pirouette
Against a faceless moon
As crimson stains
A feathered breast
Impaled: enjailed
On barbed and razored tenacles
Atop stone walls
Impassed in pernumbras
By concertina's caste.

Sir...
the image of the razor-sharp wire
is vivid in this write.

My former employer visited this site...
did some research
wrote an article...

you may remember the Birdman of Alcatraz.

He lived here, too...

The ones in places such as this, lead a very lonely
and forgotten existence.....

Couldn't stand to see this fall off the roster without a second go 'round.  It was just too good.
