blood coffee

as the glass shatters
of the coffee carafe,
it splinters,
the shards fly everywhere.
you can't take a step
in your bare feet,
pieces are on the rug,
the counter.
your fingers
feel for the larger pieces.
you imagine blood.
red blood
from thin slices
of flesh, making coffee
is harder than
it used to be.
