The hook
which slowly bends
or the razorblade
the razorblade
that touches
at the wrist
and leaves behind a small wound
the pliers, they tear at the eyes
the steel pliers
the feather
it quivers at the bulging
neck, pink-colored scars
and an initial, silent bleeding
and the picture
the picture from the communion
the long, wrinkled suit
the ear of van Gogh
saved
in a small
red silk-lined
box under the bed.
