This is a poem describing the Subtle Knife, which Will Parry bore. It's only my second His Dark Materials poem. Please read and review! ~Sarah



A Knife So Subtle



A knife with a blade so sharp and subtle,

Out of emptiness, it can cut a hole,

Window to another world, from the air,

This weapon, a beauty, with blade quite fair.

A knife perilous to both friend and foe,

The one weapon that can cause so much woe.

There is only one of this blade so rare,

A knife destined for one chosen to bear.
