Bottles cluttering the counter
at the corner shop
This morning I cut my hair short
and it felt like cutting the
legs off of a lamb
I stand trembling before the woman
scanning my items and
Fumbling and shaking I press
the change into her hands and
"Are you okay, sir?" and then
I feel the blood spilling
onto my hands again and
is this what care feels like?
That night I felt like both the
lamb and the blade and I will
carve my mind into flesh
My Lord, I fear that I have
killed someone tonight.
