MARKS OF THE HAND
A sequence of martyrs
  or doorlatch factory;

A peg-leg, a doodle
  syringe by the sea;

a scabby old coat
  or morning reminder

a map to a town
  a mark in a binder;

the lake with the bird
  or lonely old loon;

a graceful young woman
  on dry afternoons

a riddance or prudence
  a face in the sand

they join to anoint
  the marks of the hand.
