Hands
No need to use a mirrorto view them. If eyes work fine,
then hands are in view.
Hands show age like grays
mutiplying where all can see.
Hands can be covered,
pocketed, and beautified.
Hands of a worker
show creases and cuts;
fingers crippled and crooked
tell of hardship.
Hands that have fingers
long and slender
perfectly shaped and embelished
signify youth or substance.
Hands can indicate where you dwell
Dry hands with hangnails
and swollen knuckles
might suffer through
northern cold and wind
Hands turn keys, pat dogs,
and wave.... goodbye.
