The Knife + The Flesh

(read it slowly)
The knife + the flesh
The knife + the flesh
The hollowing shape
In, out, in, out,
In a in/out, in/out motion
I swing by,
Intriguing motive this…
The lover, the woman and
Her dress,
Swish,
Red dress swish,
The rod + the sin
The rod + the sin
The staining shape
Drip, drip, drip, drip
She used to cut me loose,
Now she just cuts,
In a in/out, in/out motion
She swings by,
Thrilling motive this…
Knife + flesh
Separated
By a lifetime
Thick as a razorblade.
