tight (*prose poem*)
Pain has an unknown cavity squeezed by painted plastic gloves. A frosted green anvil is beaten by hands. The house is filled with knots of a construction worker. Her thick, meaty hands jerk rope tightly together. The beats grow less frequent, the anvil smashed into a ruined diamond from further tying and pounding. These hands open and close, close and open, and fingers wave like a piano's white teeth laughing. They disappear.
