angles of edges
in lack of control
as if an attempt
to re-forge the soul
a knife in the light
of a fire within
the curvature being
the sign of the "then"--
work with the line that is there
but beware:
the wandering mind is a dullard's best friend--
you can't make appear what ain't already there-
so don't try to cut into stone.

Find ye a rhythm and dull up the blade
a burr is a sign of the time you'll have saved
hold it with freedom but with surety
create a new edge in a strong ball of bleed
because if you tell me you've never been cut
while sharpening knives then you ain't lived enough

to die with a smile on your face.

It's one of the things I enjoy most...won't carry a blade that isn't sharp enough to shave with....and boy have I ever nibbled myself a buncha times!

And yes.....the deeper aspect...cut too very often in that way too.

"create a new edge in a strong ball of bleed"
Among your many fine lines, this is my favorite.  Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

Puits fait comme d'habitude avec beaucoup de pensée.  Le couteau coupe profondément pour laisser sa marque sur une âme.
