Click hereRobert Frost knew:
there are roughly zones, good fences make good neighbors.
There are places I just cannot take you
and places you go
where I will never tread.
Still, don't be out off by me tending to my walls.
They're not all to keep you out.
Some are meant to keep you safe
when I tuck you inside of me.
Thanks for the clarification. In Frost's poem, the two neighbors meet to repair the wall together. That seems to be one reason why/how good fences make good neighbors. In your poem, the narrator appears to be tending the walls alone -- which may be why the explanation in the last three lines is necessary. And a good explanation it is!

Damn. Should read "put off." Good eye. I've looked at it too often.
Hope that clarifies things.
I enjoyed the thematic progression culminating in the last two lines, but wasn't quite sure what to make of "out off" in line 6. Is the sense of it "put out," "put off"? Or is the sense "out by you" tending your walls? Or something else? Just a little confusing.
