Cut me loose of my bonds with a knife.

I still wear your bruises like shackles.

But now I am free of strife.

Released by a jackal.

No longer will you

Dissect the flesh,

Twist the blade.

No more

Blood.

A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.
