Ajax (he/xe)

It shines

While washing the dishes

Something shines out of the corner of my eye

I’m curious

I look over, 

the object is a knife. 

My wrist tingles and twitches

Wondering how it would feel

If I just…

Sliced.

What would it be like? 

To bleed out.

Painful, probably

But it might be worth it.

Am I willing to take the chance? 

I don’t know yet.
