Albrecht Dürer’s
brush and ink
on tinted blue
Gently touching
long-fingered
“Praying Hands”
Stirring religious
veneration and piety
since he drew them
My pale
imitation
performed each night
Freckled hands
stubby fingers
chewed fingernails
Stirring divine
forgiveness and love
each time I bow my head
