His hands
should have
their own identity,
a name perhaps,
befitting each vocation
they enjoy.
Skillful hands -- finely tuned,
they hold every tool
with equal panache.
Each callous earned,
a trophy,
but self-aware,
they're gentle
as they browse
my every curve.
Comical hands -- the right one
scraping whiskers,
razoring down
a field of white
revealing trails of
pink-skinned angles.
I laugh at the silly poses
skewed by the left
so the right
won't miss a spot,
my just reward,
a foamy kiss.
Angry hands -- his driving hands,
hands that slap
the wheel
as assholes
go too slow
or cut in front,
directionals
up their butts
with their heads.
I'm glad the
angry hands
are only known
to live in cars.
Those hands ...
I love his hands.

To know his hands and for them to know you so well says something very deep, very gentle and very touching. Enjoyed the warmth, the humour and the smile your words evoked. Just wonderful!

"...Each callous earned, a trophy,
yet self-aware, they're gentle

hmmm? I think I'll call him home for lunch! :)
