One Day Counts

The Book

The letters on the page

Like stars in the inky blue sky

As I cut them away, a tear escapes my eye

And I cry

My tear hits the pages,

The ink smears

The hole in the book is ready now

I lay my knife next by the snowflakes of paper on the floor

It doesn't glisten, it is dull

Unlike the story it has just destroyed

Peer over the edges of the new abyss

I dip in my big toe

And whip it back from the cold

Fuck it

I dive headfirst into that other world

The book

The pages

The knife

Are the only hints I was ever there
