Dream Poem 28: Poignard II

This dagger has other work to commence
Its thin sharp blade is there
Friendly point
To get rid of the rot
To cut out ineffectuality
Neatly slice
and dispose

Its work is quickly done
If I allow it
Aid it

Poignard pricks for attention
Poignard points emphatically
And definitely

Poignard works in the hands of Angels.
Sharper than two edged sword
It slices between the soul and the spirit
Separating as a knife cuts a joint
Or bone from marrow.

Poignard is a friendly blade
In the hands of a lover.
