Tom's taking heavy punishment and desperate to escape
He struggles with the binding round his wrists
which was improvised from the rags of his own T-shirt
the old perished material rips allowing him to wriggle free.
He gets as far as the front door before the guards catch him
Breaking several antique vases on the way.
Outside the snow is falling on a winter wonderland.
He will have to battle through it naked.

This thought delays him long enough for the security men to catch him
They bring him back struggling and force him to the ground
saying he is not yet free to leave until they tell him so
and they will go on punishing him until he obeys.
Beaten with his own belt
on tenderished buttocks,
Tom finally breaks.
