Thin but brave bones
bending but seldom
or just sometimes breaking.
With muscles built
for exercise— gripping,
typing, or clenching.
The puzzle of fingers
and palms, I thought
need not completing.
Until my right had
felt your left—
oh, this is what
complete means.
—
Nice last stanza about the meaning of completeness.

You write every genre with the same amount of finesse and mastery. Even the minutest details are taken care of. I sometimes wonder how you can think of what to write. And every time you come up with amazing things and feelings and situations to write about. Salute!
