Your Hands - From Mine

Of all the ways we try “I love you”
A graced attention
Your hands, from mine
Tell me what you can

Of all the ways we don’t forget
At most, a dust
Your hands, from mine
I’ll hold you how I can

Wakings, vast
Ruptures, pasts

Grief consumes

Couldn’t move through alone
Or unscathed

How I was
death
(but gentler now)

On some joy horizon
As to find
Again, then again:

Your hands – from mine
Your hands – to mine
My hands – in yours

Motions of stay
Collapse to dilate

The brief, permeating moments
Placed in five minute evolutionary times

Where I can’t tell
Your hands
From mine

Where I can’t tell
Your hands
From mine

Where I can’t tell
Your hands
From mine
