Solitary Confinement

Floating alone on the waterway

I could not see that my hair was grey

How long did I wait, to see some day

When the sun would shine again?

I could not feel the passing of time

I'm wasting away for some past crime

I longed just to hear some sound or sign

That the sun would shine again.

For without my senses I know not what's real

I sob and I cry and I shriek my appeal

For Heaven or Hell to take me away

From this godforsaken waterway.
