Paper. I
won.
Your fist
clenched into a rock mocked. Paper rips like skin sliced by a blade. But
scissors cannot cut through flint, you said. Hardness trumps softness every
time, the way a man's kiss crushes a
woman's lip.
I smiled. We
need proof.
My hand
opened, your fingers clenched.
You hit me.
Palm turns
into paper.
Paper turns
into leaf.
Leaf becomes water.
Water
becomes womb.
Womb
encloses fist.
Rock, red
as a heart, softens.
Yields.
