Handheld words
fire to water
characters abound.
Nails squeezing letters
chiseling out verse
prying open the breath
that touches.
Prolific fingers clenching
wherever the heart directs
whenever the pulse participates
however the blood broods.
Fingers, Nails
Characters, Words
Verse: specters of poetry,
merging at the crossroads of me.
