longing for someone so much that you envy the desktop where they lay their hands
tan
weather-worn
with many fine lines

skin meets bone and muscle
following traces of veins
on the back of your hand

knuckles meet lean fingers
bending, curving, forming
to my own

extensions of your soul
to impress upon others

with the flat tips of your fingers
you press
and a bit of you is left behind...


a piece of soul
for the unfeeling desktop
