about the blade--
continually fished out,
lying limply in the
hand when out of its
element.
taking an unsuspecting
stab at breath, there's
so much of so much in
there, how not?
as what kills prefaces
what's worth killing for...
all that gluey light stiffening
with a count that's lost.
to be a good human being,
is an excruciating simplicity--
few make look easy.
though rather doggedly...
these eyes dole out their
encouragement: just try, just
give it a try.
then watch the feet move.
