The First Cut
Do you change the meaning
in favor of form
Do you add a new comma
because it's the norm
Do you shorten the sentence
because it's advised
Do you scour the pages
re-dotting your I's
Do you read and reread
again to address
What sure of at first
and now want to correct
A wise man once said
and it's truer today
"The First Cut Is The Deepest"
leave your words as they lay
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)

What sure of at first

A wise man once said
