  • hands

    rock hands

     

    someday maybe you will see me
    flying through the frosty woods
    of memory, my eyes wide open
    fixed far beyond the horizon

    my pupils searching for
    something luminous and lost
    maybe you will see me
    washed up on memory's moist beach
    beside a track of lonely footprints

    maybe you will feel my hands
    lightly tickle your ribs like fins
    as i swim through your heart's
    red coral reef, my fingers destroyed
    by pure love,because my hands have always
    been my best language

    maybe you will see me
    stroking the petals of a blushing rose
    or caressing your haphazardly cast shadow
    by the waterlily pond of memory
    where moonlight overflows into the meadow

    my hands will tell you in my best language
    beauty is a continuous creation
    that knows no gender
    not bound by tradition or discipline
    love is invisible, indomitable, and timeless
    when spoken in the softest touch of hands

  • across the boredom

    wheat gray shorts,
    in the morning
    i get up, i am who (whom)
    shadows shake hands (with)

    i am along for the short
    ride, barebacked with guts
    saddling up to shaving,
    razors sink to sharp edges
    of my mouth, hands across
    a broader expanse of ex-
    pensive cologne..(bad spelling
    of perfume!)...trumpets can (not)
    be aloud to waken the masses:
    gratitude...seems to be attitude!
    baroque batteries' (wha?)
    with two attempts at timeout
    fingers do the types where no-
    man culture hands off flint rocks

    i thank you...

    seconds are exquisite time:
    minutes are momentarily wasted:
    clothing is optional:
    hands across
    broader
    ideals

    life
    body
    soul
    feel
    whims
    delights
    by having
    gone where (no
    hands) have gone before
