Escape???
Calloused limbs too large to squeeze and take hold of lax crust
Hurting carcasses, blood-spattered mouth, heaving splitting tresses
A cry that under no circumstances leaves walloping shaking inside
Clutching, wheezing, stifling choking off midcourse
Fabric tearing, unprotected quivering on the floorboards
Padlocked it snug but should have sealed the exit.
