Red Rope

"Have you ever seen

A rope long enough to hang

Itself from the wall?"

These walls have seen much

Desperation inside/out

Stones turned upside down

I can imagine

A rope if given such length

Might express as such

Are we more than this?

The expressions of long ropes

Tiny tiny chains?

I must say I am

In certainty not much more

But nevertheless

My hope blooms to think

Pre-emergence is sleeping

Much like (com)post(ing)

And these dreamers stir

Such that no human hand tied

This rope on the sill

But it hung itself

Given silence and freedom

Red, for all to see
