Linda Stevenson #12 August 12 Abbatoir



Abbatoir

If it were only the peeling back,
dissecting some of our parts,
exposing...
if it were only that.

But it’s the paring down to the bone,
the butchering, deep cuts,
bloodletting...
that’s what does it.

Opens us up. And there lies hope,
not in party rooms, arenas, psych wards
or church, but
in such barefaced nakedness.
