Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEGHI JKLMNFOPPQR| Perhaps one is in prison | A |
| fidgeting as time | B |
| draws to a close | C |
| a scrap of house tunic | D |
| between the fingers | E |
| or when labouring to break | F |
| cuticles on swollen fingers | E |
| pressing both hands against ears | G |
| that refuse to hear the stop sound | H |
| of rushing blood | I |

| Then again in the last hour before | J |
| end time before dawn's arrival and | K |
| floodlit sky finds you | L |
| knuckles clasping bars pitiless bayonet like | M |
| with eyes swishing truncheons at all the | N |
| getaway air your lungs will never take | F |
| 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 |
