Catching my arm in the mirror
reaching for the bulb in the hall.
The purple has leaked out of the center,
leaving a yellowing border,
the shape of four fingers
that weren't mine.
It's the last thing left of Friday.
The skin is healing in spite of me,
washing away the grip
until it's just a faint stain
like something spilled
and mostly scrubbed away.
