Cut

Cut my wrist and watch it bleed
drip down my arm feed the earth
beneath me. Grow red weeds
beneath my feet, cry me a river 
overfeed my seed.

Close my eyes while darkness follows
open my mouth my throat swallow 
my sorrows. Throw my head against 
the wall for I am weak. Grab my throat
bend at the knees, heart filled with joy
bow down beneath me. As I look at the 
sky I feel weak, as I look towards 
my arm my wrist still bleeds
