“The hours spent wondering, whither go I?

North, South, East or West; jailed within these walls…

I’m weak, then strong, can hear the angels’ calls

Perhaps the stairs to heaven, I shall climb

Tho’ hell is close, hope’s flames flicker, life-time”

Domesticated world barred in mechanical parts

Senses jailed in sharp angles

The eye's depth
outlawed from the voice
