give me your hands
your hands
wrinkled with time and blood and sweat and tears
they're really nothing though
give me your thoughts
your words
floating and circling around your head
seemingly impossible to catch
reused and recycled over and over again
put them in a new pattern
keep trying to explain yourself
use your beat up hands to tell me a story
keep up this illusion of novelty
keep trying for nothing
step on my hands
my frail and fragile hands
crush them, erase them
keep them from making all the things
already done
that never worked before
maybe one day I can believe in magic again
