I never told you

how much damage you did.

my limbs were not meant

to bend in those directions.

this is me telling you

how you pulled my joints

out of their sockets.

this is me telling you

how you left me with

all my ligaments torn,

disconnected bones

floating inside skin.

this is me telling you

how you made me believe

it was for my own good.

well,

not really.

you’re not reading this,

anyway.

I’ve always

been intrigued

by hands.

how the same mesh

of bone and blood and nail

that caresses a face

cooks a meal

holds a child

can also

form a fist

grip a neck

pull a trigger.

we all have hands.

we all have the potential

to protect

and create

and love.

we all have hands.

we all have the potential

to hurt

and steal

and kill.

we all have hands.

but what we use them for

is up to us.
