Hands

Like a catcus
with mandarin peels
layer after layer
so dry, so brittle

Chipped nails
the fading petals of a desert rose
a zig-zag pattern:
the shaky driveway
      in white Christmas

Stained marks:
red, blue and purple
a labyrinth beneath
    the machinery of writing
yet so dry, so bitten

The hands of a tired Beautifician of Words

Author notes

Credits to Gothchyld who lend her hands for this piece. But take in mind that she still bites her nails.
