We were made to create. The shape
of our palms carved to hold
another’s, to cup chins and warm
lower backs, the gentle pads
of our fingers, so sensitive to sharp
edges and hot flames, so ready
to curve around knives and matches,
to etch and whittle, to light and
warm, to slip gently around each
contour and learn each other,
our shapes. We were made to create.
