i
misjudged
the
margin,
not
knowing
how
top
-heavy
the
bag
was
.
i
couldn't
see
what
the
scissors
were
slicing
through
until
the
damage
was
already
done
.
crushed
iron
poured
from
the
punctured
lung
of
one
white
pouch.
hard
rain
falling
from
a
black
sky
.
i
did
my
best
to
mop
up
the
mess
i
made
,
but
some
of
that
powder
found
the
flesh
beneath
my
fingernails
.
now
i
breathe
into
the
bed
where
dead
skin
cells
go
to
be
reborn
as
the
smallest swiss
army
knives
and
wait
for
my
latest
mistake
to
heat
the
blades
that
bind
me
.
