The girl I could have been has warm hands
and a slow smile with a hiss in it.
But I did everything wrong from day one –
did what everyone else was doing
till the awkwardness became natural,
part of the way my hand moved.
I was supposed to be a black spark,
a sharp one, an arsonist.
I would have written blackmail letters.
I would have made jellyfish bracelets
and hung them on my arms
like giant rose quartz beads.

awesome
love the ending most
and the start moster
very good -
this is very intriguing, especially the way it seems to stop abruptly at the end. I liked it; made me think, and it had a crispness about it.

I like this. There's no pretense about it, and some of the lines just shine. "Black spark" is a very interesting image to me.
To be honest, I don't really have any critique, and i'm a pretty critical person. Nice work.
