The Blade

Held by whom

The knife digs twice as deep when the blade is blunt

and you're prepared, but not enough.

When the person holding the blade can get under your skin

Because you were wholeheartedly stupid enough to let them in

The blade digs hard, and you give in

betrayed by your very own kin

It resonates with our human experience. But what is the back of the blade call? A spine. Sometimes that's all we need if we are to learn this time. I've had my share. And better for it. Great peace.
