Fiery Red Fence.....

Transcription

Name: BURKETT, STEVEN JOHN
CDCR: 814364
NO INMATE HEAT PASS
The patient is currently not prescribed any heat medication

Fiery red fence
around the prison
middle of winter
didn't know steel burned
razor-wire does
cuts into you to
like memories of
sidewalks & alley ways
early in the morning
watching the garbageman
load his truck
wearing my father's face
yesterdays waste
all but gone
