"13 ways of looking at hands"
Cuticles stretching farther than I'd like
Nails bitten down to raw, red and puffy
Gloves that fit and rings that shine
Knuckles pressing through pale skin with falsehood, never breaking through
Smooth touch grabbing for affection
Clapping, snapping, rubbing warmth
Tear removers of the 21st century
Hair pulling, taming, braiding
Utensils that are rarely noticed
Tense cheek's sting with hand print embedded
Covers, eye blankets, mouth guard, ear shield
Intense though, temple buffers
Lovers, heart beats pounding, hands pressed against glass
