What is a hand
when it’s
not holding
anything
when its
fingertips aren’t
pruny from washing dishes
puckered
and ridged
when it doesn’t
reach out
touch
know
the lines
in your face
when it doesn’t hold
a pen to
paper
scratch scratch
scratching the
surface
when it doesn’t go
numb
in the cold
prickling and
tingling
when it doesn’t grab
or snatch or steal
or tickle or rub
or hit
or high five?
Tell me---
what then is a hand?
