CUT

a pixie cut
does not
make you
a pixie

being called
Rose does not
turn you
into a
rose

being cut
to the bone
does not make you
any less
a person

but your death
dear Juliet,,,

cut to
your body wrapped
around the body
of your Romeo

elevates you into
a realm where
tragedy elevates the world
beyond our
poor
ordinary being
.
