The Knife

I found a knife
It had a steel handle that was gouged with dirt
it rattled when i picked it up.

I wanted to open the knife
but the screw was stripped away.

Maybe there were bones inside of it
Tiny bones that rattled inside of the knife
Tiny angry bones in steel sarcophagi.

It was mean and greasy.
Brown and slippery.
And I hated it.
