a piece of rope
[turn the other neck]
it was a piece of rope, [i handed you,]
to see if ay'd hang my other neck.
would you hang my other neck? friend.
would that get what you need? an end.
that piece of rope i handed you,
to see if you or they, would hang.
stayed strong and true, no pointless due.
what i said stood true, no fight due.
fair abundant pray, affront ensued,
for presuming past due, despite rig.
that piece of rope they handed you,
i declined to bind my mind by you.
and i still love you.
never mind that piece of rope, [i handed you,]
to see if they'd hang my other neck.
what would you do with my neck, ?
for leaving our love in such a wreck.
plenty more rope for us both, ironic
when metrics imply for they and ay.
opposame, carrying the poisons in poise,
declined usurp, love usury, form.
trans-temporal uncaged, been before,
tendwards, mendwards, enlaketch.
namaste procrastinate, fear disasterate,
silence supposed salience, save sabotage.
and i still love you.
plenty more rope, in the fields.
dare to grow emancipatory.
