The Hole

An unfortunate inmate,

Moments after taken and

Shut in an isolation hole

Isolation hole 14D

Began shouting

Screaming,

Yelling,

Crying,

Glowing eyes

Strangely low temperatures

Dark air and

Dark feelings.

Persisted all through

Every moment that night but

By morning the noises had ceased

But handprints on neck –

Petrified appear on the cold face

The Alcatraz ghost in Hole 14D

Had indeed proved its existence.
