THE OPPOSITE OF RIGHT................................LEFT(cont.5)
The floor.....course and faded......finish worn from wear......splintered from abuse — emptiness above as focused eyes — heavy........with dried wetness close.............but no rest.........just sharp pains that take breath away and cloud the mind with thoughts that drain and torment.......for even in repose, all comfort and warmth once given, are locked out as if they are unwanted and unwelcomed trespassers...........
head spinning..........
sweat pouring..........
Black........................
Eyes open........crusts flake away — body numb......saturated with damp......chilled sweat....
No concept of time.........
the once seeming moments......days.....weeks.........have turned into enduring years of entrapment in this prison of culpability and failure.........scourged and thrown behind bars of unfriendly, unyielding indifference....
— for a crime neither tried or sentenced.........
No evidence offered
Nor defense allowed
and no time given for term of sentence.........of how long the incarceration would last..........and no apparent opportunity of sentence commuted or leniency for parole...............Guilty.
