In My Foothole Cell
In my foothole cell I kneel on the floor,
An oubliette, with nothing more
Than a hole in the ground
For my needs most profound.
There is no light, there is no sound
But the creak of the hatch
When a guard's boots appear
Bringing me food,
Bleak and austere;
A glimpse of her socks
My limited cheer.

But the creak of the hatch, when a guard's boots appear... |
...bringing me food, bleak and austere |
...a glimpse of her socks |
...my limited cheer.
