Blood Under A Thumbnail Poem by Hans Ostrom

Blood Under A Thumbnail



It's the dark lake under the ice.
It's the reminder-in-residence
of pain and of an accident
that called you 'Fool! '
It's the risible badge
of an apprentice carpenter,
and the mark of death
on a doomed slate
of the keratin matrix.
It's a fact that laughs at philosophy.
