Blades

Morning sunlight bites through the blinds, a half eaten cinnamon roll remains on a tray by the stove in the kitchen. Three foot razor blades make sparks and blood sprays from where they cut like the pressure built up from shaking a soda.They do not understand what they have done to each other but they […]

Knots

Two scavengers pass a cigarette back and forth on the train tracks, […]
