stick to my fingertips
Folder:
whole lotta other stuff deal me a new hand
this pair I have
are to worn
to callous
to twisted
a bit too vulgar
to be alfresco
they are unpleasing to the eyes and ears
dirty hands caught red handed
dirty words too
caught like prattle
in the back of a throat
in mid-sentence they are mute
the fringe of a nameless essence
where cosmic poetry is reduced
to a few short digits
under the palms of mis-fortune
against their will
longing for more
they feel
but not for everyone
sometimes they just cannot reach
it is the impossible tasks
just wrapped around
like a grasp at straws
unable to change the turning of time
turning white knuckles into wrought thought
trembling like cold surreptitious glances
dripping like elongated penumbra
that stick to my fingertips

Wonderful lines,
"deal me a new hand this pair I have" awesome double analogy " but not for everyone sometimes they just can not reach" trembling like cold surreptitious glances dripping like elongated penumbra that stick..." I love these lines they draw the reader in to these frames all with double analogies! I really love the use of the word penumbra as a lover of astronomy and I can't help but think meninscus when you say stick! The faded edge of the moon or planet com to mind with that halo effect o meninscus. A person with arthritis of calcification, ms or Parkinson's would also be deeply affected by this poem! Lovely work as always 9ty loved it! Cheers SS
