No Bloodshed
No bloodshed, I say,
Over sterile porcelain
My veins are hollow,
But they don’t lead
Anywhere important.
No bloodshed, I say,
Over barren beds,
No need for bandages,
No need for meds,
See, no one got hurt.
No bloodshed, I say,
Over operating tables,
I don’t want to look
at imaginary wounds,
If I am able. I am able.
Don’t touch. This is stable.
This, I can handle.
I know you are worried,
but what really is natural
About bleeding?
