Slit

By M. Jay Mansfield

Slit wrist
Tourniquet
Symphony

Sanguine nocturnal respite

Throat crushed
Bandaged soul
Cacophony

What’s there to keep you alive tonight?

Mangled limbs
Shattered splints
Destiny

There’s nothing left but my blade in your sight

Torso missing
Splattered trail
Epiphany

What’s better than to give your life?

Entrails hanging
Meal’s prepared
A-men

My soul's satisfied in your darkest strife
