word surgeons
Mutilating surgeons
will yet form me
in their image.
Bit by bit I submit
my words to those who
know better
whose knives are
accustomed to dissect
and slice substance
into sleek forms
of modern beauty
pristine and uncompromising.
Their minds scholarly,
their souls enriched
by some sorrow,
ambition tests
their humility
a little,
they know it all,
the cutting edge
of society,
hearts
somewhat cold,
mine will bleed.
will yet form me
