Sharp Glass

By: Jekk

A single hand reaches out

to touch it's

diseased self

to press against the hard flesh

and feel


the blood running off the fingertips

of it's startled twin

a layer of dust falls slowly to the floor


red in the light

streaming in through the stained glass window

a cirlce of fire

in which the bearer stands again


and a startled look as he draws his hand

back from the mirror

to see

miraculously knit fingers

healthy and fresh

as if never cut


and a single oil-black tear runs down his

face

a tear of blood

in the dusty glass
