April

Mistress of misdirection, pattering
passing a hand over my heart
palming it

unfold the holding hand
point to it
empty

open the pointing hand
front to back
empty

bow to the audience
blameless
heartless

for you see
it has never left my chest

MAGDA: You really dated someone named April?

ME: Oh yes. I've also denied Faith, lost Hope, and refused Charity.
