PRISONER/WRITER

excerpt from WISDOM OF OTHERS

"He marked the days on the wall
Small scratches in gray cement
The man who had warned the world
The voices of the voiceless
Alone, undernourished, he could have survived
The cold, the damp, the lash  could not kill him
But for want of paper and pencil
He starved."


SURRENDER:CANDLES IN THE NIGHT, p. 61, Kathleen Eagle
