Yet another version
Head thrown back
I stare at the stark
grey walls until
I almost
feel the fear of
those prisoners
dragged from dark
dungeons to be hanged
with rope, later sold,
while the tongue
swells purple and children

Past the stones
I glimpse the stars and
hear revellers in the square.
Second version:

Past the stones
I glimpse the stars and
know that one day
I will understand
Original version:
Head thrown back
I stare at the stark
grey walls until
I almost
feel the fear of
those prisoners
dragged from dark
dungeons to be hanged
with knotted noose
while the tongue
swells purple and crowds
enjoy the show.
Past the stones
I glimpse the stars and
hope that one day
I will understand.
