betsy's hands (Free verse) by onepinksock
If she came cloaked in darkness,
moonlight washing only her hands,
.
these fingers grow like stalks
swaying from a solid trunk
sprouting from a base where children jumped ship
and hid from monsters.
.
Find them curled in rage waiting to
explode
not on face, but on mounds of
clay and spinning liquid string glass from
shape shifting dreams.
.
Clasped like prayer without words,
betsy's hands fold for keeping angels warm,
asleep on her palms.
