    Jin Haishu

    Side by side

    Sharpness

    knife-edges are not the only sharp things
    a knife-handle too can be razor sharp sometimes
    touch it and your hand
    will bleed straightaway
    there are times when we have to
    be cautious of all those blunt, undemonstrative
    agonies
