Scissile
Lay the edge across the page
and cut the words in two
Separate the vowels from the verbs
and eliminate the pronouns too
There is an objective in the adjective
fleshy skin parts the red red Sea
If the emotions in motion cause commotions
they must be extracted
immediately
Never before such perception so clear
Picking splinters like scabs off the cross
So what never was will be no more
blood tastes salty in a memory's horde
Scissile means to cut into , apart , or off .
