The Brick Wall

The bloodied brick wall
Dingy battered grotesque
Like the wounds of a fallen soldier at war
Shadow of putrid burgundy
The stomach content of a paunchy spider
Jail cell

A prisoner of this wall
Forced to stare at its violent hue
Taking me as its captive
Enveloping me Gagging me
Vehemently staring back at me
Jail Cell

The blood of past college students
The sweat of previous inmates
Have all become lost to this wall
Depressing red becomes my eye's target
And when classes end I rush right back
To stare endlessly at that red brick wall
And take in its luring nightmarish elements
