Silence of the hands

Share
Two hands
Sometimes four
One pose
Many meanings

'the protective' hold
'this belongs to me' clasp
'save me now' clutch
'what can I do now' knead

forever mine, embrace
stay close, finger-loop
dance with me, intertwine
all enclosing, hand-scoop

young and new
wizened and old
resting or fidgeting
twined and alone

so much is said
in the silence
