Hand-Holding

There is verse in the warmth and the shape of your hand
The stiff supple roughness of each fingertip
Contrast between your joints and mine
Is the difference between knots in a tree limb
And the slender angle of the bird that grips it
That is poetic on the level of Frost
And I am secure on the perch of your heart
