Take what is learned
And slice it into the skin
In remembrance and tribute
For what once was a clean path,
Now only shattered streets;
Let the lesson protrude as glass,
Clear in blood and body
Author notes
Not about cutting.
The cut is a metaphor for the lesson.
What I'm trynig to say here is...when a lesson beats you, breaks you, kills you--leave it there. That way you'll never forget it.
