The Butcher

Hands rinsed of the blood
of the slain and forgotten.
Eternity looms.

Eternity is such a powerful word...such a big meaning for being so simple a word.

I wonder what the inspiration in this piece was...I think of Macbeth to be honest, (out damn spot) or Christ but that could just be left over from just having read your "Saved". I'll be thinking about Macbeth all day now I suppose. There are worse works to dwell on though :)

I love how your work can be so tight and compact. Great title. Left me feeling somewhat empty but that's exactly how I feel that it should have left me.

"Eternity looms."
Ohhhh my toes wrinkled! Such was the power of that last sentence.
I see a wet knife and a sun slit wide open: dripping sunset. Ohhh eternity.

It's going to be a long forever.
Very nice.

I think this paints a very vivid image of a butcher. Butcher of animals or even a serial killer. Very powerful with so few words.
