I have a pianist’s hands – long fingers – straight wrists – and a stretch that spans two notes above the octave
a seer once held my hand and foretold three consuming loves, and none would remain by my side –
after this last, I consider myself consumed –
funny how the life line moves on strong and unbroken – a pity
if there were a split, I might just jump the tracks and begin again elsewhere
with pianist’s hands – as yet unconsumed
