Desperate Terms

Desperate terms pleaded by a desperate man
who’s been tried and sentenced to his death
for a crime he’s positive he didn’t commit.
his days are given numbers, but now he’s down to minutes.
as he swallows the knot in his throat, he whispers, “this has gotta be a test.”

His hands are temples where holy things happen.
Can’t retract his smile, he’s looking like a mad-man.
He wakes up in the wet grass with others’ blood on his hands
and a narcoleptic body to meet his subconscious demands.
