with relationship in hand
or palm to palm, high five,
victory ever so grand.

up the ladder of success.
Hand made: Goods from a foreign land,
homeland in economic distress.
Underhanded: The undermining
of the only black president;
white hands applying black face,
inciting hatred and malcontent.
Handgun: A clutched firearm
with trigger pull light as breath;
handle on the side of a casket,
results of a violent shooting death.
Handover: A secret tactic
of those practicing vendition,
involving the torture of those
captured for extreme rendition.
Handhold: A grip on reality
by people needing a hand.
