Handicap
Cut my hands off so I値l never hold a charming relic again
Cut my arms off so I値l never embrace anyone I care for again
Cut my hair off so I値l never have the wind running through it again
Cut off my feet so I値l never feel the sand between my toes again
Cut off my legs so I値l never walk through the garden of irises again
Cut out my stomach so I値l never know the pleasure of a full belly again
Cut out my lungs so that I値l never take a breath of sweet, delicious mountain air again
Cut off both ears so that I値l never hear the familiar sound of a soft piano again
Cut out my tongue so I値l never speak foul blasphemies again
Cut out my heart so I値l never love again
Gouge out my eyes so that I値l never see beauty again
Replace my brain so I値l never think again
Cut my arms off so I値l never embrace anyone I care for again
Cut my hair off so I値l never have the wind running through it again
Cut off my feet so I値l never feel the sand between my toes again
Cut off my legs so I値l never walk through the garden of irises again
Cut out my stomach so I値l never know the pleasure of a full belly again
Cut out my lungs so that I値l never take a breath of sweet, delicious mountain air again
Cut off both ears so that I値l never hear the familiar sound of a soft piano again
Cut out my tongue so I値l never speak foul blasphemies again
Cut out my heart so I値l never love again
Gouge out my eyes so that I値l never see beauty again
Replace my brain so I値l never think again

Commenting Preference:
The author encourages honest critique.
This is an interesting subject to approach.
I would rework it.
Too many "Cut" starts.
There is no culminating theme.
This neuters the nailer.
You've felled the tree.
Now how to plank out the wood?
Hmmm.
