handshakes

every hand shake takes a brief second

some people have special handshakes
beyond balconies and outside memories in the 

world unseen

I find it kind when our thumbs touch and

fingers intertwine

it doesn't feel as awkward anymore

it's not bad after all 

I'm being repetitive, I'm sorry

I suppose it's the reassuring squeeze that

carefully shocks my grip that in the vastness

of the world my hand falls into yours

I like how raw hands can be
sweaty, joyful, unrefined
it feels as if I touched the
surface of the water
then we share a collection of
blabbering, really and it's just so beautiful
