The Trapped Wasp in the Window

by Bethan Grylls
2nd September 2016

What are these walls?

That look like sky,

but the cool wind does not reach.

What is this hell?

That shows me a world,

where no green blades grow.

What is this barrier?

That I can feel,

yet cannot see.

What is this torture?

That steals from my lungs,

when air seems so near.

What is this invisible box?

That imprisons me.

My transparent coffin.

I may not know much about poetry, but I know what I like.

And I like this!
