Yarns, Hands, Tears And Touch



Our imperfections
And yarns with wonderful flaws
Display uniqueness

Speaking hands express
A vast array of feelings
Too furtive for words

Hot tears, drenching wet
Let sadness quietly drain
Wringing the heart dry

The touch feels nonplus
Touching often, feeling much
Feel the nonesuch touch
