the
Prison Institution 

2019

Bricks and Debris from Ussher Fort (former slave port and prison institution) 

A prison institution left 
Alone for rot and decay 
Suffering the same fate it 
Bestowed on so many 
Prisoners and enslaved Africans. 
The body and
The mind broken
Down into pieces. 
Rippling the black body and mind into
PTSD, Self Hate and the 
Industrial Prison Complex.
I've Imprisoned these 
Loose bricks and debris,
From Ussher fort,
strapped and locked away in
Solitude
Within its own prison cell.
To rot.
