Who?

boot

The sharpest ...
In that drawer of knives 
Denies... sometimes...
Mid'st all said lies

The whetting stone's.. 

Necessity 

Deftly... slicing...
On..till blunt
Time to rub the stone again 
Get your senses straight 

Don't wait 

Necessity 

The mother of invention..sez
I need another helper
Backup comes..
Size number five

Promising.. faux shelter 

Necessity.... 

Turns real

        James, there’s a real edge to this that keeps moving…like something being sharpened over and over. The repetition of necessity gives it weight, like it’s not just a theme but a force pushing everything forward. It taps into that cycle of losing clarity and finding it again. Strong piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
