Hands.

Swollen, stretched, chasms of dry cracked skin.
Comfort in persistence. Slow type. Continued effort.
Fear in weariness. Freezing. Stopping. Drying. Shaky and it is time to go.
Life and happiness measured in his hands.

Good days, slowly but surely. Average days, lotion soothing pain and drought. Bad days. Nothing to be done.
Life and happiness measured in his hands.

Soft, solid, rivers of blue under skin.
Comfort in strength. Tickling ivory. Gentle soothing.
Worry in wringing. Hesitant. Uncertain. Tarnished. Perseverance breaking down.
Life and future measured in her hands.

Bad days, chipped and weary. Average days, paint the boldness on. Good days. Dance in the light of the moon.
Life and future measured in her hands.
