Saturn

I cut my finger on one of the locks in one of the stalls. A lock I’ve locked and unlocked a myriad of times, I can’t explain why I was so off this time around. The nick is on my Saturn finger, right between my fingernail and my knuckle, not on my stigmata hand but on my other one. It’s a vertical cut and nearly half a millimeter in length but judging by the pain I surely thought the cut ran down the length of my entire finger. But the pain was deceiving still a nice reservoir of bright red blood sits there just below the surface, reminding me I’m alive.
