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.





Kevin M. Hibshman has had poems, reviews and collages published in numerous publications world wide.
