longer knives


longer knives
cutting deeper
sharper needles
writing, drawing
deep down within us
tattoos, scarring
written on hearts
ink on our souls
meting into our spirits
tearing us, ripping

our life in pieces
written in blood
deeper, deeper
exposing new flesh
virgin meat, living tissue
for the needle, the knife
cutting into our bodies
deeper than that
words written, painful
permanent stuff
