The smell of the toilet bucket was sharp
The air in the cell was boiling hot
My body was bathing in sweat
I woke up in disgust
The man at the corner was having
An affair with his new bride
He threw a cold stare at me
The long imprisonment has unhinged him
Somewhat
Interrupted
They could not continue
The husband dismounted
The bride remained calm
Ashamed to look at me
The silence continued
Then both of them were deeply asleep
Their arms locked around each other
The couple in love
Strange love
But from what human depths was it born?
From what chamber of the body does it spring?
I wondered… I wondered
I could not sleep for a long time
