the bloodied knife

i'm a slow learner.
look
at the tips of my fingers,
the scars
from putting them
into the fire.
look at the dents
in my car.
the weeds in the yard.
look at the stale
bread
on the table,
the soured milk left
out overnight.
look at my heart,
the pieces
on the floor.
the bloodied knife.
