two hands,
both calloused--
from wiping tears
from holding cold hands
from pulling at hair in frustration
from crumpling poems never sent--
reach out,
and the callouses shed.

can we all just appreciate raffaele laurent bessette's name. i mean. how is he from a poor family with that name. @BruhIAteYourPizza this is your fault. i did not want this suffering.
when you are thirty,
you believe that
all that matters is
digits and taxes and power, but
when you are eighty,
on a hospital
bed with computers
going buzzbuzzbuzz
around you,
does any of it matter?
when cold, frail hand on
a rosy cheek of
your daughter,
does any of it matter?
I honestly thought those thank you messages from an author to readers are usually incredibly sappy, meaningless and unsincere, but being an actual writer proved me wrong. :)) (that's a double-chin smiley)
