Haikuvie

Young banker arrives
in chains at Shawshank Prison
murder was the case

Red can get you things
like posters or rock hammers
or a pack of smokes

Dufresne's tax advice
saves sadistic guard a mint
cold beer on the roof

Convicts fall silent
as Mozart aria soars
over prison yard

Parole spells doom for
institutionalized man
"Brooks was here"... now gone

Raquel hides tunnel
Andy crawls to freedom through
filth and bile and poo

Red set free by hope
old friends reunited in
Zihuatanejo
