I cut like
Diamond on glass
Knife in flesh
Fire on wood
Acid in blood
Stone on bone
Needle in vein
Kiss on skin
I am cut
Open
Dove descending
Snake ascending
I am cut
Off
Isolated, fragile
Embraced by sorrow
Cold as icy water
Drowned in earth
Darkness illuminated
I am cut
Wide and wild
My heart ablazed
Burned to ashes
I cut like
Wings in air
Phoenix rising.
