elephant

Your calloused hands!

I used to want to claim them

for my wooden treasure chest.

Spending all of eternity

holding both.

 

You rejected me,

or should I say politely

denied me such pleasures.

 

And now I tell you frankly,

no woman but me,

would have

cherished those

elephant skin hands.
