death cell blues
got the death cell blues
what do I do what do I do
waiting wondering
I the smashed clock
its dial I dare not watch
waiting listening
each tiny sound every footstep
waiting wondering
how long now?
waiting for the darkness
for my shortest day
my racing mind
heightened imagination
waiting wondering
how long now?
any sudden trip
but in that brief moment
imagining that drop to obscurity
