How Deep Might That Knife Have Cut (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



How Deep Might That Knife Have Cut   (Bussokusekika)

I’ve new memories
The thought of eating alone
And the what if I’d
What if she would have said yes
That is if I could have asked
How deep might that knife have cut

Well…I guess I’ll go crawl back ito my comfortable hole…lol…Maybe I’ll spend the night in Ventura…Who knows…I have even been contemplating on just driving on to Van Horn…I’m open to suggestions…I’m still seeing purple…Go figure…lol
