Freeverse 239

1/6/20

I'll die, my son said
if we dared to cut his skin
the sterilized blade moving closer
his hand shaking
I cut his skin
and removed the long brown splinter
from using a rough wooden handrail
we always told him to use the handrails
now only the smooth handrails
sanded wood
or preferably metal
