punctuate.

gia

you sharp as a needle

punctuate.

clinging flesh on the other side

i never

barb my tongue the way you do

never cut with a serrated

edge 

sliced jagged 

masterful 

punctuating.

blood stained entry wound

i shield my head with the arms and the 

mess of me is

dripping

punctuated.
