These fingers are cold

They are slipping

Frailed motion 

Wandering

Clutching

Sharpened

Pained

Achy

These can not knit

These can not hit piano keys

These can not winthstand cold

 

These can write

These can grasp

These can feel book pages

Straightforward

Relaxed

Blunted

Ease

Indolent

Strong movement

They are beautiful

They are creative

Favorite Quote:
"It Will Be Good." (complicated semi-spiritual emotional story.)

"Upon his bench the pieces lay
As if an artwork on display
Of gears and hands
And wire-thin bands
That glisten in dim candle play." -Janice T., Clockwork[love that poem, dont know why, im not steampunk]

hmm consider ending it on a stronger note or something that ties it all together, something about fingers and what they are to you in one word or something?
