They drape the noose around his neck
like a garland of flowers,
welcoming him to his fate.
People gather around
as if watching a play,
waiting for its climax.
The criminal accepts the gift,
head down, eyes closed, with a smile
on his face.
The he falls like a skydiver
with no parachute.
The audience applauds as he lands,
welcome.
