There can be no deviation
where there is no longer
any norm
You are no freak
with your knowledge of special
knots for the neck
the bowtie, the windsor
the four in hand
the hangman
You belong right here
beside us and we
will shrug off your little murders
because of your sense
of style
and those lovely eyes
This is what we’ve come to
A place of such longing
all contact is welcome and honored
even if we are choking on it
