Of hands
By Jessica Orr
If there is a sun,
let it rain;
As nothing holds
in such simplicity.
I did know,
the square of face;
I did know,
I loved him;
in his own truth,
even to my death.
Of:
necessity- (hurt is academic
to numb a layer as I am);
read- (nothing can seed
burned books of thine;
a heart is pure as chosen,
by he,
a past is the same as
it never
was);
eyes- (a blue is not so
unique as one is sky
and one was me;
so small I grew
and even then I knew;
one day I would see
some sun around me);
hands- (without is never
the case,
from wrist to fingers,
from they know,
they search when cut;
they feel it hard,
they dry from wet
when I'm good;
no one knows a secret
touch,
I was that girl
and I may never know why)
Careless sometimes,
and sometimes
she can't rise to God;
afflicted was never
a calculation
in seeing a world...
It smokes, and in stir
of a fate,
never could see in the rain-
but
it's a lovely feeling
as cold is clean,
and a scent of perhaps
a new beginning.

Wow. This is a whole lot of...something that I'm gonna need to read several times. Partly because I need more time to try and decipher it, and partly because I really enjoyed it. Awesome pen!
