I was always intrigued by everything you did with your hands
How reluctantly you removed them from your pockets like a boxer with bruised
knuckles
How you’d study your nails looking for bits of skin to bite off
How you’d tuck away your thumbs like a nervous child
I always wondered why you wore two pairs of latex gloves to pull out strands of
entangled hair from your own bathroom drain
