Just at the bone

Keep attempting to
cut out my soul, you know
to set it free

at times I think I might just succeed

past
tendon once paired w/ muscle
& practically drowning
in the blood of
what once seemed
so substantial,
it may have been mistook
for indestructible

&
what wild glee
gurgles amid
atoms

when
I can’t
cut
past
the bone.
