Scissoring

handmade brass
poised for the past
made to sever and made to last
you timed this gift like a perfect test

scissoring senseless things

sharpened shine
waiting on why
break the seal on a certainty
the edge of anything so empty

scissoring senseless things

scissored nerves to numb every kiss
i cut the maps up to cheat distance
slice to ribbons the senseless bliss of this
