A Door and Handprints

I begin to wonder about

This room.

The gray room with

High windows.

How did I get in,

Or how do I get out,

Why do the stolen men,

Melting into the gray,

Ignore me?

On one wall is a faded image,

Like a thin layer of paint covers it,

Or barely rubbed away.

It is what seems to be

A door, wait, it is,

It is the door.

But the door is boarded up,

Handprints cover the wood,

Handprints inked in blood.

The prints are mine,

So why am I

Here?
