I may be on the side of the angels, but don't think for one second that I am one of them.

Hands, by Madison Bowman

I stare at detail
I daze upon my hands

Looking at each line crafting
a beautiful structure
telling a thousand tales
and not needing to speak

Branching out to a new crease
stitching cells together

Wondering how each was formed
The constant movement
causing a new flexibility

a prick, a scar
No tattoo is needed
to symbolize your hardship

How your fingers bend
How your hand falls into position
at the sign of relaxation
How pigments can never show
what your hands have to tell

Take a gaze and see your story
flash before your eyes
See your lifetime
be told at your
fingertips
