An Exercise in Creative Semantics

A.J. Huffman

Walking through fountains
filled with blood, I stopped
to wash my hair.
I was afraid
if I left it light,
the purity would make you stare.
I was right.
That night you showered me,
and showed me guilt from the inside
of a knife
blazing
            and branding
me.
Now my name is truly
Dark.
