painting your nails black

it took
months of digging,
scratching
at the concrete
wall
with a spoon,
but eventually i made
a large
enough hole
to crawl out of.
i tunneled my way
to the fence
and wall,
digging deeper
into the ground until i
was past the guards
and guard dogs,
and then i
ran, not looking back.
with you
up in the tower,
oblivious to my leaving,
painting your
nails black.
