Long and thin, Claw like, Like spider's legs Frail They run Faster and faster, The talon-like nails tapping The table, Mimicking Beethoven's fifth symphony We grasp We clench With white knuckles a cold white A hard white An icy white Holding onto the last life we have. Without fingers, We cannot hold each other's hands, We cannot play music, We cannot write our thoughts. We are not human, Without our Fingers

Fingers
Long and thin, Claw like, Like spider's legs Frail They run Faster and faster, The talon-like nails tapping The table, Mimicking Beethoven's fifth symphony We grasp We clench With white knuckles a cold white A hard white An icy white Holding onto the last life we have. Without fingers, We cannot hold each other's hands, We cannot play music, We cannot write our thoughts. We are not human, Without our Fingers
