Your fingers
They have so much strength and power
Yet they are so gentle
When they walk the length of my skin
Brushing past my invisible grass
Raising white blemishes all over
Around my neck
Across my face
Tracing words on my body
Making stories
Memories
Life
My body
Was made to be held by
Your fingers

Look at someone’s fingers sometimes, they can tell you a whole story.
