| cuticles on swollen fingers | E |

| floodlit sky finds you | L |
| knuckles clasping bars pitiless bayonet like | M |

| wheezing in growing fear to the sound of footsteps | O |
| clank of keys and gallow's humour as they prepare | P |
| to Skuttle your short life wall up clouds of their | P |
| own pestilence nakedly mask each firing squad | Q |
| gathering for its fighting chance | R |
