Adam’s Apple

 

the mirror

gives back

your error.

 

the old nick--

the blood bead

where steels stick.

 

heed:

the same place.

the same deed.

 

the same haste,

the same flow,

the same taste

 

on fingertip.

 

slow

bearer

of woe.

 

a dab of gauze

arrests it

to a rose.

 

steel, paper fit,

follow laws

no hand follows.
