cut

By danica mcdonald

i love the feel of the cold metal on the inside of my wrists,
the parting of the soft skin,
the pulse of the blood snaking its way down my arm,
the splash of the crimson on the tile,
the burn of the water in my newly cut flesh,
i patch myself up and stow you away until the next time.
