Knives: A Poem of Betrayal, Heartache & Besieged Love

by Rodrigo Palacios

Knives



I am bewildered, besieged by the transfigured 

knives, surging from the surrounding specter

lunging at me, seeking my blood and tears

 wanting nothing but to cleave the beat of my heart, 

its innermost, where my love for her lives 



Suddenly the shadows and the 

 knives conspire to extract her from the

persistent gloom, bringing her forth

from amongst themselves

– and me


But You too, my beloved ?
