I wish I could stroke the top
of your
right hand
to feel the cords just under the surface
stretching from your
knuckles
to your
wrist,
like the strings of a piano
dancing beneath the pressure of
my thumbs.

Part 1, in a series of poems that admire the human form. This one is about my friend Tij and his crazy big hands.
