how i tracked the gleam
of your steak knife
struggling to follow your tales
about whatever the fuck
how steel and small red from meat
made my hand shake
spilt quinoa from my fork
i couldn't say
how i wrapped each blade
in sheets of The Guardian
before disposal
nor how I resisted
wheelie bin diving
to retrieve release
or how the plate slipped
through my fingers
and the edge was enough, just
to tide me over
