I wash my hands at least 50 times a day.
The more blood that stains my sink
The more remains.

Every vessel sore
Every needle-prick sized pore
An open mouth
A gasp for air
A scream

I wipe my hands at least 50 times a day
It seems the more I wipe the blood away
The more it stays.
It stains my sheets
(how can I sleep
when they have beds of salt and sea)
It’s on my clothes
(how can i dress
when they’ve made all the clothes i own)
It’s in my food
(how can i eat
when they have families to grieve).

And I don’t know who else to blame.

The governments, the media
the global warmth, the lack of trees
the angry earth, the rising seas

They all trace back to me.

So I can wash my hands 58,000 times a day.
But the more blood that stains my sink
The more remains.
And my hands
will never
be clean.
