Noose
A rope moans with weight as it slowly rotates
the delicate form it was given as prey:
Her eyes are bloody, yellow, and bulging;
a cloth over her lips hides her
gaping mouth – her last scream
was silenced. Her thin arms are snapped,
bound behind her, trails of blood trace her
legs, and her toes drown in a scarlet stain
beneath her.
