Telling Hands

Some men make women
Feel nonexistent, beyond
Their touch--he is not

One of those men.  Some
Men make a woman feel
As if she exists,

Wholly, after touch,
Creating a soul-to-soul
Religion--he is

One of those men, with
Telling hands that paint a tale
Within a silence,

Between each gasp of
Breath and beauty.  Quieting
And breaking the scream

In my soul.  His hands
Are a reawakening,
The stark truth of me.
