Ease of Handling
Author:
her brown eyes PM
I do not think I will ever accidentally hurt myself with a knife, for I have made a blood pact with it and it will not betray me.

Sometimes when I'm cooking,

my mother yells at me for handling the knife incorrectly.

And I know that sometimes I am clumsy and heavy-handed and dangerous,

yet I cannot be afraid

when I have known the edge of the blade so intimately, so comfortably.

I know what will make blood. I know what will not. And so I do not fear it.
