Cuchillo

An ode to the pocket knife.

By LEFPublished 12 months ago Updated 12 months ago 1 min read

The way is lonely and cold

Wondering in a world unknown

Solitary silence on my journey

Leaves room for the brain to wonder.

***

Darkness surrounding every angle

Vision focused on the necessary

Hearing attuned to the decibel

Sixth sense activated.

***

Movement in the void detected

Every ounce of me is ready

Waiting in my fight stance

Fear has no place here.

***

Monsters to the left and demons to the right

Nocturnal creatures breathing down my spine

Come at me because it’s not your night

Prepared for war as I went out the door.

***

In my pocket is your undoing

My little friend has a few words

He’s been waiting patiently for today

When the darkness falls

***

Glinting in the moon light

Adorned with a jagged edge

Cold steel blade of elite craft

Handgrip steady as a warrior.

***

Starlight wondering together

Our verve is never dull

Fashioned just for me.

Never leave home without you.
