Poem Artwork

bleeding heart

at midnight
reaching to
kill the light
my hand withdrew
as if sliced
clear-clean-through
skin and vessel
severed forever
by the moon
leaking in through
the open blinds.

i gripped
my wrist
free hand tight
to the wound
not wanting to bleed
myself too completely
as i was acutely
reminded of you
and those same lines
cutting into your chest
when last we meshed.

Like a cut into the mind, Anne, or many cuts, from many thoughts; and there's a hint of pleasure there-

"not wanting to bleed
myself too completely
as i was acutely
reminded of you"

-in being able to empath the cuts, and live.

This is fantastic, Anne. I hope it isn't real, although I suspect it is.
