Contained


your finger was extended
lengthening the line of your body's intention,
one eye cinched shut tight like the ribbon on top of a present.
your lips quirked into a pucker of concentration.
fingertips tracing the lines of the mountain range like the cheek of a lover
"the knuckles of the earth" you whispered
"how dare it be contained"
