In Touch We Trust
My hand was not permitted entry for months
In the milky presence of her skin, no life or anything,
Not a single graze of the flesh to salvage in thought.
Station without a train or rail, no chance of going,
Isolated by the very arm it is attached to, chain
Voluntarily has no choice to move instructed by the brain,
Nervous system, tubes of blood, tendons, unjust,
Longing for the sensation, to touch it must,
In touch we trust.
