Hands

My hands were small

With nail polish chipping off

And my fingers awkwardly short

Yours were large

Square and masculine

And they were moist and warm

Not clammy

But in the perfect sense

that made my hands want to stay in yours awhile

and linger there

our fingers intertwined

with a million stars above

as a million testimonies of previous loves

and a perfect hand

dwarfed them all
