Violin of Pain<br />
Lyla Cerulli<br />
My razor is my bow,<br />
My arm is my violin,<br />
Spilling out notes of red.<br />
Tendons tremble<br />
Bringing vibrato to red.<br />
Up and down, back and forth,<br />
Strings are painted<br />
Strings are smudged<br />
As the strings bleed<br />
Spilling out notes of red.<br />
My punishment for living<br />
Manifests through the notes<br />
Bleeding down my arms.<br />
But my punishment<br />
Is a gift<br />
To all of humanity.
