numbness

by Karyn Huntting Peters

perhaps when the numbness leaves
i might feel more of the pain.
my reason, when i can summon it,
tells me the numbness is good.
the edge of pain’s sword is so sharp.
the finest blades enter in silence.
then it is too late.
it is done.
a twist, a bend, a final thrust.
it cuts to the core.
