Topic: Hands | |
---|---|
I have artist’s hands,
speckled with the many colors of paint, but mostly with the putrid colors of gray charcoal and Pete moss. You can see the brown tar of cigarettes on my knuckles and the nails on my peace fingers. When not in use they are plump with fluid trying to heal the rapid movement that cripples digits; when working they are slim and delicate with knuckles swollen from too much cracking, the early onset of arthritis. They are the hands of a thief, stealing souls and putting them in pictures. They are the hands of a glutton and a lover, the decadent life of art. They are sinful hands, stained by living evil. They tremble on the wheel and I cannot hold my grip. Ashes and the cherry fall and burn a circle into the floor, the ashes of reincarnation,the circle of life. They are bruised broken stained and swollen, but they are mine. They hold the truth of my life and the power of my mind. |
