Magnolias


Don’t come

closer


Ropes

around my

wrists

around

a tree

in

the front

yard

ropes like

necks

like ropes

like

your neck

like yarn

I knit

a scarf

with

your neck

I hang

a swing

children

swing on

a noose

I hang

in

the back

yard

with your

neck


Stay

out of

my head
