Her hands

I remember my grandmothers hands
more than anything

The back of her hands
like bark,
hard, rough skin of sundried hours,
with lines of marble written across them
like a map over life not lived

The inside like warm velvet,
a nest for all her forgotten dreams

as if she every day,
secretly
was holding a sunbeam
