Big Sister's Hands- hands exercise

Long, dainty fingers,
stained orange.
Fake nails like her fake personality.

Perfect manicure.

But under her nails
is a secret place
full of lies and broken promises.

Why are you here,
crawling on the floor of a dark cave?

She looked up to me
with big eyes,
wearing a lace dress, repeating,

"Do you not see what my mother has done?"
