The Hood
The Hole in the Floor
Scents of countless men before me
Salty perspiration soaked into the sackcloth
A potpourri of fear, madness
and a hint of hatred that was heartfelt to the end
How many have worn this hood before?
Weight of the entire sky above me
pushing reality onto my shoulders
Creaking boards at my feet
Momentary continuance of living,
A floor in the hands of a nameless man
How many times has he pulled the lever?
A trip up to Heaven
through an instant hole in the floor
Rope catches
Breath, no more
then light in the hood of black
Will another man smell my innocence?
