Amputation part 2
My finger is gone.
so now I do no tracing
no singing or dancing
no piano playing.
I keep my head low
stay out of trouble
try to forget what painting was like.
No more nose itching
no more chin stroking
never will I pluck
buttercups
as well.
No pointing out flaws
or of splitting hair.
pushing triggers.
playing with nerves.
I’ll focus on hiding my own.
Concealing my poor hand.
My poor mentality.
Will be fine and all is fine
and you
will certainly forget me soon.
In fact
you already have.
I will forget it all soon.
god, I hope.
