i could only watch
as each brick was slowly laid
inches from my face
…
i was gagged and bound
prevented from impeding
those who sought my end
…
and as each course grew
i could plainly see my end
in this waning light
…
the last brick is placed
i was swallowed by darkness
time will now take me

Love the multiple haiku structure Brenton ! That image is funny even if the poetry or not.. but knowing you it’s some type of symbolism slash social commentary! ☺️👍
Oh wow, so tragic. May I know the backstory of this? Like what actually happened? Loved your Haikus!
Horrific, absolutely terrifying.
Oooo, that made me so claustrophobic!! Your words painted that picture too well, lol.
