no need to bleed with you around

i look for the reliable

knife

in the knife drawer,

i need to cut

something again,

everyday

it's something new

that needs to be cut

in half,

or sliced

or diced. there's

so many

dull ones

in the mix

that i never use or

sharpen.

ancient knives from

lives past

that i never choose.

it's what i like about

you.

you bring

the sharpness with

you, no need

to sort through

the drawer

and bleed

with you around.
