I like to call myself wound

but I will answer to knife. Sometimes I think we have the same name, Notquitelove. I want

to be soft, to say here is my underbelly and I want you to hold the knife, but I don’t know what I want you to do:

plunge or mercy. I deserve both. I want to hold and be held. 

— Nicole Homer, from “Underbelly,” published in Poem-a-Day
