Thank you so much for your kind words, Alan. :-)
I thoroughly enjoy your haiku, and I find it to be extremely original, as well.
With gratitude,

Thank Maureen,
It's surprising what imagery we conjure with knives, literally and metaphorically.
Your kind words very much appreciated, and thank you for your haiku again.
warm regards,
Alan
What a powerful verse this is. There are so many ways to read this haiku–the imagery is just so rich.
