love, lost. His love, stolen from his arms. At night, he would
desperately steal wisps of his love from the darkness, traces of
fevered desire. The psychiatrist assigned to him would stare at him
through clear lenses, clear eyes, for minutes it seemed, wordless.
Joseph would shift under his gaze, peer out the barred window at the
shapes of trees and cars and chain-linked fences. Then the doctor would
mouth slow paragraphs, trace his golden pen over his notepad, drawing
letters from Joseph's silence. 'Delusional, animal, cruel, sick,
depraved.'
'They'll kill me - they'll rip me apart. I, I - you
can't put me in there. They're depraved, it's a death sentence -
please, please, no, no - I loved her. I only wanted to keep her safe,
the basement was her castle, I protected her.' His fearful words
bounced off the steel walls of hte van. Two guards stared past him,
hands lying easily on dark hard shotguns, heavy knuckles jostling with
the van, tired faces blank. They ignored his pleas. The van rolled on. |
