Sacrifice
The tip of the knife pokes through the plastic casing
and smoothly cuts a nice arc
It fought its way into that dark crevice
letting the splintered wood swallow the water droplets
A perfect ninety-degree turn
with an invasion of reactionary force
the sacrifice was successfully completed in that moment
It lies silently in the dustbin with its scars
"click" "click"
proliferating in its memory
