The Closet


Tucked into the wall

With doors closed protectively

Two wooden guards defending. 


Shielding,

a row of headless prisoners

marching to?

marching from? 


They sag 

and sway in agony.

pressed together

limp.


Some hang crookedly

warped

by 

depression.

Oppression.


Captives

crucified

on a 

clothes hanger.
