rope

tied his 
fingers in 
knots and 
knots
tied his 
tongue to a 
dead man's 
yarn
tied his 
eye to a 
redheaded 
blond
tied his 
foot to a 
circle in the 
sand
tied his 
heart to a 
movie about 
dreams
tied his 
head to a 
yellow ba-
lloon and 
called it the 
sun 
called it the 
sun so he could 
draw back the 
curtain, 
open the 
box marked 
"tomorrow"
