Causes Hopes Of Freedom
Karyn Indursky
Tiny pitter-pattering feet
crunch large cockroaches
upon grimy floorboards
before worn out
shoes rip soundly
when rusty nails
bite children's feet
not wanting to
wake their daddy
or pregnant mommy
as leather snaps
across their bottoms
until they're sobbing
soundly with trickling
blood staining their
rag doll clothes
with ultra thin
fabric crumbling into
bite size pieces
like their souls
dying to their
hopes of freedom.
