Spiral

Come

Let us slice into each other

With fine surgical precision

You slash me here

I slash you there

And then

When the storm is done

I will patch you up

And you tuck me up

You bring the bucket

I the mop the blood

And together we will cleanse

Our ancient hurts

Our guilts

And our fears 

Until we start again

And over a cup of coffee

You tell me 

My dear

Just how much you love me

And I shall tell you

Just how much

I love you.
