Hands

by anecandu

I wish your hands to be mine, To do with as I please. So many hands grown for my needs, like kindling trees, I collect them in the forest of my mind . They wave back and forth. Trailing vines Da Vinci devine. Putting them to work, so B'jork. Caressing my face, a sculptor. Combing my hair, a mulcher, On my chest my racing heart. They scurry North, Covering my mouth, Nothing comes out, No thing comes out. The hands speak the rhythm of words. First a bounce about. Then bursting out. Trickling, a broken spring, Flowing, jumping, skipping, colouring. They mean everything then nothing. Mean words fading into thin, here?. As I. .I....I slowly sigh they disappear. And I cry. I cry. But a hand wipes my eye.
