slick so smooth a slender line...

slick so smooth a slender line
this fire consumes all of i
with light to purify all of me
i feel its exquisite pain
its cuts so very smooth
never a tear this knife
of brilliant razor hue
stained now of self
thick heated fluid rose
with care oh so fine
its time to begin another line
for the fire of last has faded new
and i must have more
for i burn so cold
so with the sweetest hissing of indrawn breath
i begin a cut, new once more, fresh
one of many yet still far, far too few
