Gun point

Stasi prison July 26, 1985

20 police troops stand guard.
Weapons drawn.
Into my face.

Rushing across the concourse that connects 26 platforms.
Bystanders and travelers jump aside in awe.
I was never threatened by a gun before.

The pain is unbearable.
I have to keep up.
What if I fall?
