The Hand

by Jesse James Doty



Dysfunctional family
staunch mind benders
only the educated were worthwhile.

The dawning of a new perspective.

The hand
in all its glory
where life begins
transforms mountains to dust
particles to moving parts
Everything is made
by constant motion
construction created
with loving devotion.

Where once I didn't understand
there's new admiration
and respect for the hand.

This is a discovery I learned as an adult. There is no shame in doing physical labor, and I have seen that first hand.
Thank you so much for reading.
