Ambidextrous
I thought I knew you
But after the accident
You sat
Picking fragments of broken glass from my hair,
That sparkled in too pretty a way.
Such tender fingers
That lingered a little too long
On my bloodied neck.
That wrapped the blanket tighter across my shaking my shoulders,
And held me.
We didn\'t need to speak,
Your hands were eloquent
And now I know everything about you.
