Window

 

Day Four


Not so much art as it is

a frenzied blow, struck, it is

paper, cut. Of course, it's

a pretty laceration.


No calligraphy

carves a line like a scalpel.

The way it splits the skin, it's

Delicious. It is final.


There is a boy, looking

at a girl; she is looking

lonely, through a window.

Her face is turned away.


A samurai;

Examining the viscera,

Dispassionate, faced

with anything arterial.


How this severed artistry

is kept, concealed and freshly scarred,

In a forgotten place,

Unforgotten.
