Sharpstone
The blade doesn’t
cut
it defines.
it’s place
in space and
time then separates
the one side
from other.
Sharpened well
it finds the trace.
The sharp now
unoccupied slides
between remembered
past
actions and their
imagined
consequence.

looks great on the page…
I like the form a lot, too, looks like the act of cutting something. Sharpened well / it finds the trace” is a heck of an image.
Sharp in more ways than one, you intellectual.
I suspect the metaphor will fan out through my morning
Cool pairing of form and content. Who knew a meat cutter’s life could be so philosophical .

I was going to quote my favorite bit, but it’s all quite visceral and gorgeous. Lovely work!
Imagined consequences!
Love the jagged blade you formed 🙂
Well done, Coleman, I enjoyed reading this.
