Requiem

I only love those

slender boys with slight frames when 

they remind me of

you.

Hands

I have become enamored with your hands.
The way slender fingers join knuckles,
Soft palms taper to fine wrists.
I cannot look away.
Cupping your face,
Clasped around knee,
Rest belies their strength.
Your hands could craft the world if they
wanted to.
