4/21/2008 - Knife in the ribs

The knife so flexible, so sharp, so pointed,
slides nervelessly between the ribs.
Soundless, but for the angry buzz of synapse,
chattering as the knife slides through muscle then past bone.

This is an old knife, older than I can imagine.
Why the age should matter, I don't know,
as it slips into my lungs past bone.
