Freedom of Touch

You said you didn’t want me

holding your hand
because you were embarrassed

of the calluses on your fingers
you got from playing
the guitar. I never thought

that music can do that
kind of damage. I remember
your old lover

who used to hold your hand,
whom you refuse to let go of

for a reason: his hand locked
together with yours

forming the shape of hearts
and many more things. You know

what? I never really
wanted to hold your hand.

My only wish is to nibble
on your fingernails
as though they were my own.
