Blade
Seven layers of skin
Hair follicles
Scattered sweat glands
Fat cells.
Half-domes of congealing liquid
over the film of oil and sweat.
spider veins become filaments
ink for the blade's nib
inarticulate soliloquies
deep borings belong on shoulders
and knees
shallow rifts on inner thigh
or parallel to stretch marks
of the hips.
scars must never be left
on forearms.
