“Numb”

July 28, 2021July 26, 2021 ~ Jai Lynn

Oh
wow.

I have never
seen
something so striking.

Shining in silver,
with a black handle
to its liking.

Laughter guts
my chest
at the trick.

Everyone watching
must think
I’m sick.

To be smiling
so, so
brightly

at the blade
in my skin,
ghastly and unsightly.

Oh
well.

Name's Jai Lynn, Jai like blue jay and Lynn which rhymes with sin. Speaking of sins, life is too short to not do what you're passionate about. So, I'm going to write. Welcome to my domain of poetry, short fiction, and (if you look for it) a little magic too. View all posts by Jai Lynn
