a butcher
showed me
a way
to use
an embrace
and a blade
with such speed
that the beast
stands amazed,
and death
it arrives
before pain.

it is not much,
but among butchers
it passes for love.

"and death

It continues to amaze me that you can write about almost anything and make it feel as poignant as it does every single time.
much enjoyed. xx Cheye
