you, before

better the noose
caught you before the door hit
you, before
the stool broke in two, before
the ground, itself, betrayed you
and belief
walked out
lifted by the arm pits
carried
by large bodyguards
who did not to protect you
better all this
than when I met you
blind and deluded and faint.
