"Hands"
By The Blood and The Bones
you are a creator
I have known this about you from the beginning
but how have you fashioned
your hands into a cradle
sound
nurturing
reliable
comforting
yet so exquisitely firm and insistent
when my body needs to be reminded
not only of where it rests
but where it belongs
The Blood and the Bones is the pseudonym for a former lover of a US servicemember. Follow her here.
