Noose
An off mind set led the man to this noose
dangling there, awaiting the company of someone, something, rope
a nasty feel it has, rope burn is the worst. Rug
so soft and welcoming, just like that mat
laying outside the door.
Close it tightly, we don't need a breeze;
cold air, cold room, cold company, cold heart
shaped however you want, like clay
forming to your hands
feeling what's next, grasping for more, so close to the end.
