(the hands poem)
Your hands on my body
is my favorite emotion, and
My hand will not hesitate
To choose you every time
I feel the cadence of your words
In the movement of your hands.
They tell me that you are yourself
Down to the bone.
I kiss you, I hold your face in my hands
and I think to myself,
"there's nothing else
I'd rather be doing right now."
I can feel every ridge of your fingerprints
The delicate alchemy of skin on skin
Electric sorcery moving between
Your hand and mine
And when it's gone it's never over
I spend my nights
Imagining your delicate hands
Doing that rough work
