sunlight then and now

sunlight,
not soft and yellow
as it
should be
but harsh and white
against
the wall
where i've scratched
time out
with a spoon.
i lift myself from
the hard floor
and look out,
hands
on the bars.
that was then, but
this
is now. running
through the green field,
not a second
too soon.
