It may have been hours,

or days,

or even years.

He is
in a small
dark
enclosed space

with walls that reach
far above his height.

He is sweating intensely

and he is completely naked.

The walls press heavily
on his skin,

leaving trails of dirt and grime on the wet surface.

He looks for a door but there is none.

He calls for help but none comes.

The greasy walls press so tight
onto his body
that he can’t even turn
or slide down to his knees.
