Imagine you gone
no you to share this life
spread out in the palm of
our tiny son's hand

no life lines
leading me to see this worlds
in his grasp which comes so easily
to trust us

each finger folds
you and me
in a single stroke

he leads us

to guide him
he touches our cheeks
and leaves affinity deep
within our grasp

our heartlines joined

have caused him to appear
as if he has always been
the answer
which we sought

he recreates our fortunes
in curtain fig trees
stretched along the Strand.

As we read the stretch of lines in
each other's Hands
& hold this phenomenon
so dear
so fragile

the palmistry of this beloved
unfurls
the universe
