July 2014
I've got two arms
two elbows
two hands
two wrists
one wrist with a tattoo
delicate design with flowers and swirls
traced in temporary red-brown henna
symbolizing creation, renaissance, beauty
the other wrist with angry red scratches
swollen, scabbed-over, scarring
self-inflicted with a pair of small scissors
symbolizing pain, depression, darkness
