Bookmark Notes:
There is dirt under his fingernails, black soil, grit. Armand imagines lathering soap, the easy glide along the knuckles, bones of his hand. Sharpened steel scissors on the horn of his nail, smooth and clean. Olive oil yellow under the weak overhead lamps framed in worn out cherry-wood. He massages it into the rough skin, the folds along the knuckles of his fingers, pulling them one after the other to draw tension from the joints. Lissome fingers tangle through his mind, memories of when he would do this for the one whose name is a sharp cut inside him, a trace that's freshest where he smells the blood still on the young man in front of him. Follow the hemorrhage.
