Hangman - VII

Words crumbled like biscuit
in your mouth, plastering
you with dust that made you sick
of yourself. You are ready
for the rope, wishing
they were yellow ribbons instead.

They are particularly obsessive these poems, I think they want to be so and in this way they can be enjoyed.

Hi, thanks for visiting and readying. Yes, I meant them to be obsessive...working towards the rope. Glad you enjoyed.

Oops, sorry, I mean "reading" not "readying".

BTW, I've added your website to my circle of friends, and will be visiting soon :-)
