The First Drop

Stephanie Alford
The icy touch of the blade
Meets the warm softness of my skin
Bearing down firmly but gently
I watch the first drop of blood
As it becomes free
From the constraints
Of my circulatory system
And is no longer blue
But a bright red
As the oxygen sweeps over it
I decide not to let too much free
As I do not wish to faint
And ruin my moment of
Masochistic pleasure
