my grandmothers hands
KNUCKLES

how lucky
to never have to let go of them
it's truly magic
the way our dna holds onto things
copy- pasted your knuckles
onto all of our hands
3 children and 7 grandchildren
that’s 20 hands to hold when I start believing you are anywhere but here
and there are more to come
our story's never finished
thank you
to whoever decided
this part, deserved passing down
if you are truly gone, now
then tell me how
I feel you with me every time i look down
my hands
are my gram’s.
