The Pointing Finger

The Pointing Finger

The pointing finger has seen better days.
Its nail is thick and caked with grime,
Its skin is rough and blistered.
The cuticle is ripped,
The calluses are peeling.
Its knuckles gnarled, its creases cracked,
It trembles in the air.

Overhead, the moon is just a rock.
