The line between

The line between fucking
and killing is fine
as masculine ego.
For it is easier to cram
a blade inside a man’s body
than talk to it
with kindness and caress.

Author's Note
This is a fragment that was supposed to be part of a much longer piece about homophobia and the masculine fear of being emotionally vulnerable.

I couldn’t get that poem out - when I tried to it felt too preachy and prosaic - but I felt that this fragment was interesting enough to stand alone.
