Manikurista I (Fabienne Paderes)

Manikurista I

Fabienne Paderes

She pushes

my cuticles back

as if getting rid

of her sorrows

where it once came from.

She picks

my ingrowns,

out with fury

as if pulling out

the thorns of her misery

She heals me

with merthiolate

as if it could remove

all the shit

she’s going through

And she leaves

with my fifty pesos gone

And my nailbeds

go red with blood.
