Her Hands

 

V--- awakens among dim lanterns 

adorning the cobblestone walls of

a chamber dank with putrid smell.

Naked and bloody with much pain,

her head shocked and throbbing,

she looks down at her hands and

fails to recognize them, tightly tied

and trembling in scratchy ropes.

The foreboding flickers of flames

taunts tremendous terror insane.
