Grab My Blackened Hand

Brian Looney

    You don’t want these ink-stained hands on you. You don’t want them to descend, to smear darkness across your body. You’re a pure creature, an angel of the light, basking in its halo, the holy spectrum, the fury of the summer.

    I wish you would disagree instead of standing there, mute. I wish you would argue your point, press it against my heart until the blood spurts. It’s so walled in that any sensation would be a pleasure. That is my status, now cut the right ventricle.

    I wish you wouldn’t look away like that. Your indecision is agony. Well I’m not gonna stand here and watch your wheels turn. Only a wicked woman would weigh her options now, when she knows what’s really at stake.

    Make a decision.

    Grab my blackened hand, or leave us both suspended.
