extend
eyes look
first at it
then at eyes
a smile perhaps
maybe a forfeit
out of honor
often regular in common place nature
respect is shown
the gesture is known, by many
fingers placed with heat interchanged
an object of measure
given to friend or foe
quite the lovely present to gauge one's character.
