Blood

And then I cut,

   Down into the heart.

         Into truth,

               Into pain,

I tore it all away.

Bled for mercy,

    For hope,

          For ecstasy.

One jagged line

     Marking the end of

                     My scene.

          In my last moments

        On stage,

     I weep for the blood

                 In all things.
