“Every cut a grain of salt”

Every cut a grain of salt
atop my future barrow.

Every cut a tightening;
the noose around me narrows.

Every cut an accident,
just a side-effect.

Every cut not personal,
not targeted .... and yet.

Every cut a grain of salt
closer to the sky.

Soon a cut will make
the grains a heap

And in that heap i'll die.
