Searching for the bruises
Finding old line scars
Punctuating age spots
Veins surging with blood
Pruning from fearful
Hand washing
Numb finger tips
Loading up prints
Surface touches
Flexing bony wrists
Stretching lines
Wrinkling caverns
Awakened by fists
Digging the angry
Skin
Watching for indentation
Or blood
Is this what a cutter
Feels?
Uneven nails
Without fraying
Cuticles
Scooping
Hidden bacteria
Knuckles and joints
Free mobility
Waiting to grab my lover
