My hands

Sensitive, small hands

touch a human race, closely

to its borders.

Strong, great hands hold

a way of describing old language

by a long, white coat.

I forgot her name.

I forgot her face, and existence.

I forgot all about, her.

Can someone, please, explain

me, then, who was it.

Hands are made of the small drops,

letters lost in ink.
