“Some Cutting Advice by Stewart Stafford

Before you pick up your knife,
To run your enemy through,
Know the entry wound bleeds red,
And the exit thrust bleeds blue.

Not because they are of noble birth,
But they are protected by a mighty hand,
Not just of those moneyed and influential,
But the mightiest hands in all the land.

So stab with caution, I urge you,
For the blade jabs back in your gut,
Swallow the bile that fuels you so,
Lest it be your throat you cut.

“I really wanted to tell someone about that night, that perfect night, when everything went right. Not Sheba or Marni, because my interactions with them were always laced with sarcasm, loaded with studied nonchalance. Someone who would really listen, squeeze my hand tight and say, 'It sounds like he's really into you!' but follow it up with 'You will be careful, won't you?' There was no one to say it, which was maybe why I wasn't careful at all, why I thought the golden glow would last, and cocoon me. So I didn't shade my eyes, checking for pitfalls. I just blundered into the light, not looking where I was going, dazzled and entirely blind.”
― Beth Morrey, Delphine Jones Takes a Chance

They might have chosen to run, to seek other ways of warming themselves, for they were both reasonably cautious children with no interest in breaking their parents' hearts.
