Red Knife

Did he ever
Cut your wife

Once twice three
Times a night
She gasps

Why in the world
Are we here


In time she asks her big man
Opening another bottle
With his one tooth

Unable to see any truth
He ambles along
Stumbling

Pushing a stone uphill all day
Then at night he tries his luck

Something to prove he is real
To somebody other than
The animal looking
Back at him in
The mirror
