Alcatraz by Kevin M. Hibshman

Today this house is Alcatraz.

From a tiny window I can make out choppy waves on the ocean.

It's depth and temperature quite foreboding.

The mainland looks closer than I know it to be.


If I could swim to you I would but there are always sharks waiting

on that one fool who will try to escape.
