POETRY: "Fingers"
Published in the Nevada Brushfire HERE
1. Fingers
2. Point with the flanges to demean
3. Fingers that swipe and wipe
4. Fingers attached to puppet strings, to moving self
5. Fingers that oppose and separate us as opposers and oppressors
6. Fingers that mirror our culture. What's right to write
7. Fingers that open doors and close distance
8. Fingers that seduce while crossing next necks
9. Fingers that steal the others hand in fear
10. Finger
11. Fingers that glare at the unsuspecting
12. Fingers that photo a memory
13. Fingers to symbolize patriarchy and dominion
14. Fingers that ring true as a chained artifact
15. Fingers that curl around the curls and straight
16. Fingers that grab and never let go
17. Fingers ladylike because they're petite
18. Fingers track outlines
19. Fingers move against skin
20. Fingers fir the mold
21. Fingers shy away from connecting distance
22. Fingers chained to others and released for study
23. Fingers busy and thoughtless as they drip along.
