Handing you my love
My hands , my expressions , my thoughts,
my dreams my fears
My hands grasping , grabbing ,
holding on like the claws of a rapture
ripping through the flesh
My hands, stroking , petting , loving
like the mother cat to her cubs
My hands, flaying , hurting , screaming
out in pain like an antelope fallen
by a cheetah in its last moments
before death
my hands , my death , my life , my love
