Sonnet to Golgotha
The face that throbs with red abandoned heatWith smooth green can of steel, chrome luxury
Your eyes white dancing girls that admonish
My small red window, yours are clean as teeth
Papers, books, words and endless ink
Fly like thoughts suspended in this room
Your hands are small and warm like sausages
My body overflowing in this cell
The polythene that covers threatens to burn
This smoke and malt, tobacco in its home
White torso and white suit deliciously
When hunger crashes, lit profanity
Your scraps my bane, your wooden mouth my store
Of cotton so inadequate and poor
But luxury whets and it wets my parched throat
With sore abandon, Golgotha, you are mine
