Feb 20 Weaponself

by Florence Walker

Art by Brian Michael Barbeito

Crystalline. Unyielding. A set of words for flesh.

Armoured hand to hold the blade. Armoured mouth to speak the chant. Knife to make the funeral mark.

Recite and twist upon the rack as body-magic does its work.

Armoured skin to break and peel. Armoured throat to stutter-gasp. Knife to make the funeral mark.

Crusted over, hardened. A set of words for wounds.
