I like to hold things
Palms softly weighing
Curvatures
Textures whispering
Holding blindly
Tightly to understand
The escaping shapes
The steering wheel under your hands
The windows blowing the black hills
The rumble of your voice
When you speak closely with me
The rumble of your voice when you speak closely with me
God dammit
I hold things
Sunken and warm
Between my collar bones
Rubbing myself with them
Rubbing myself all over them
Unable to see
With my own eyes
Or hear with my own ears
Pressing edges
Sharp until flattened
Little folded swans
Of no reason
The letters obscured
By the multitudes of creases
To read you
I must learn to read you
To unfold
All instruction
To render my self dumb and deaf
And blind
Finally learning
Touch
