The Cutter's Bloody Questions

What do you bleed?

Is it thicker than water?

Does it stick and cling when it’s spilt?

Does it echo with memories?

Does it sing?

Or does it cry?

What really pumps through you?

Is it laughter or disaster?

Wood Oak or shriveling plaster

Is it melodic hopes?

Or just sanguine ropes

Hanging you slowly with the veins of life

Splitting open

At the drawing of dull knives

How does it run?

Slow or fast

Dripping with poison

Weighed down by mass

Drawn from the heart

Out through the pipes

This Life hinges on liquid

This liquid flows throughout life

What do you bleed?

Is it love?

Or is it lust?

Is it wet?

Or is it dust?

Does it flow because it wants to?

Or does it flow because it must?
Does it bubble and clot?
Does it twist?
Does it knot?
Does it wriggle and writhe?
Does it buzz like the hive?
Fresh or stagnant
Dead or Alive?
