Shining knives flashed

in the dark waters

where our fears drowned,

but in the silence

of our secret refuge,

your hand traces

the scars in my flesh.

You put down

all of your weapons

in this city

doused in scarlet,

and with our hands

trained in violence,

our only sin

was not running

sooner.
