I'm intrigued by the title meaning. It seems something that's personal to you rather than it being open for interpretation. The rest reads almost like a haiku or its predecessor in that it's short imagery with bursts of poetic power, which I like. I'm not a fan of "knives" being used in poetry, feel like I've heard too many of those poems in Intro to Poetry classes, but your poem comes across as visceral and real. Life experience is good for that.
