“Untitled” (Theodore’s Knife)

 
Theodore’s hand grips the knife.
Laying back down on his bed.
Theodore loves to fall in love.
Theodore also loves to listen.
 
An impressionist postcard taped to his wall in blur.
Before he got the new mattress from Drew.
We are so vulnerable in bed.
We are at the mercy of the blade of life.
