My left hand
has been held
holds
an onion still while I slice it
lifts the kettle
is sometimes stained with pink eczema
presses three fingers to my lips
twists my hair
props my head up when I am tired
strokes
folds laundry
smooths creases
grips a book
changes gears
has short nails
offers you a gift
waves to you…
What does your left hand do?
