Her handsFebruary 21, 2024

 

I don’t know why

I need to see her hands

the ring or rings

she sometimes wears or doesn’t,

nails clear or polished,

the way her hands move,

a secondary message

she sends while she talked or stands,

and I wonder

if after all this time,

 if they are soft or firm

as the haze of time

erase such things from memory

the scent of her hair or her perfume,

 the taste of her lips,

the feel of her face,

 cheek to cheek,

all lost in the remoteness

by which we now live our lives.
