descending the grooves of flesh
on the footholds of dry skin creases
and the crosshatches in lifelines

reaching in and adjusting
mechanically finessing
the tendon pull
fingertip alignment
vein flow
knuckle range of motion

to be so close
responsible for perfecting
your grasp

coffee cups
pens
steering wheel
coins
a lover's heart

tuning the little ways
no one notices
you impress upon the world
Yeah, saw a picture of someone's hand.... and I haven't been getting much sleep... so this is my lunchtime endeavor...

This stanza captivated me.
