                                                                                        Falling into Pieces


                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                    I should have listened
                                                                                                                    the whole afternoon;
                                                                                                                    instead, the clock
                                                                                                                    broke its arms.

                                                                                                                    Knives flew back
                                                                                                                    and forth off our tongues --
                                                                                                                    word by word – another
                                                                                                                    life of the cat could be extinguished.

                                                                                                                    The whole night
                                                                                                                    I've been restless
                                                                                                                    to decipher
                                                                                                                    which blade was
                                                                                                                    the sharpest,
                                                                                                                    the most bitter.
