Exploited solution washes br polluted chemically. br No fresh water flows br down such shower drains. br br Cries agonized voices br torn shredded apart br as victim human nails br claw shred concrete walls. br br br Walls re-cemented every br three wipe-out weeks. br Flesh selected compressed br confined sealed gassed chambers br br choked entangled in streams br secluding solution blood. br Children weeping last br heard sentry mockery echo. br br br Reaching for clinging br shredding. Bare skirt-less legs. br br br A modified extract from the poem ‘Stone Cross’.
