The hands

i am unkept and seldom black

in moments i am but blue

more bare than jesus

in garden ghetsemane

about to abandon

even god is still and i am dumbstruck

an alien unearthed and mummified


 

my hands are lined with earth stains

and human stand in judgement

their digits falling in random

and i am clutching anonymous words


 

i bend backwards like a madman

eyes rolling, tongue lolling

and i am anathema to myself

to the wind and sun i am shut

and darker than nietzsche's god


 

i fold now and am a void

but soon to one void

another and the finger of god

becomes a finger upon a man
