The Hands

Your hands that searched for me for so long
took revenge and hid in my hair
 shattered every persuasion 
run chaotically on the neck... 
 so many hieroglyphs drawn on the body, 
I never had! 
The eyes cut from the spectrum of your lips
left on my thighs.
My breasts, as plains, 
rose in front of your hands,
for you to be able
 with the shameful fingers
 To create space between spaces.

Your writing has a unique sense of sensuality to it. I’ve enjoyed reading your poetry this morning, Elena, I look forward to more. John
