MY HANDS<br />
They’re starting to look old<br />
now my Mother is in them.<br />
The skin folds in her way;<br />
in the way she sees herself<br />
through stained glass knuckles,<br />
mapped decades of veins.<br />
And the skin owns everything<br />
I have yet to give up.<br />
It holds onto everything<br />
I will never be.<br />
