Analysis of Adrian's Hands
adrian touched me
while I slept
aroused I awaken
to his hands
turning a nut or bolt
spinning screws
with drivers
those hands
of adrian's
dexterous
animating me
or a circuit
within the ambit
of his hands
subtle with metal
me or a matrix
turn electric
in the enlivening
quality of
adrian's hands
