“The use of the right word, the exact word, is the difference between a pencil with a sharp point and a thick crayon.” Peter Marshall
A Carving
A carving,
flesh encrusted with memory
situated in its own jus,
now ready for dividing,
honing the knife,
for slender slicing,
no ragged thrust and pull here,
straight to the point,
but with great care,
sharpening,
sharpening,
preparing the angle,
watching the space,
steadying the fork,
laying the blade to thick skin,
ever placing my words,
carefully,
sharply.
