THE ROPE

THE ROPE

A Poem by Dryford Chimutu
"

The two sides of the death penalty.

"
Spine-chilled and extremely petrified

   they shall ‘’ you and your wits acast

behold the scariest of goings-on!

   the infirmary for the rope?

solicit you from the aphonic walls,

   they shall ‘’ them all beheld

albeit the ghastly pallid interior

   the silence the snapping

of each strand augments:

   from the poor kinsman the stupor’

enumerate the luckiest Saint Vincent

   then the sarcedos lately demonized

to the all beatified, and;

   for the least tattooed for the rope;

you had myself mercied

   to barely dodge the gallows

the evils of our days:

   Sending them at the sanatorium

for the rope?
