Replying to a comment on:
~Ode to My Hand (Ode) by Misha Sanz
Here sits idle
my ready hand,
to spill forth words
to read to man.
Five great fingers,
one great fist,
spinning round
on moving wrist.
Here it alone,
without complaint,
paper tapestry
it doth paint.
Five strong, thin bones
do hold one pen,
spill forth meanings
of modern men.
Cursed live flesh
now quiet stand,
travel my words
to the end of my hand.
The day I die
chop this thing off.
Preserve it forever,
at my own cost.
For it alone
was instrument,
for all my words
it set in print.
