To you

Have you ever wondered how it feels
to take a knife
and run it sharply
against the silk of your skin...

How does the blood feel
as it travels
in narrow tubes
and suddenly finds an opening
to a hitherto unknown world....

Will your breath mingle with laughter
as it lumbers off to sleep
while the night brightens
to starlights
and corner street music...

Have you ever wondered how it feels
to sit with a knife
and write
and write
and write

to you ......
