Holding Reincarnation's Hands Poem by Tarun Cherian

Holding Reincarnation's Hands



I hold your hand.
Warm fingers.

Then intrude, the long fingers of a viscount.
Now, here are the fingers of an illuminator from Venice.
Now crane feathers.
And Lion's fur.
Here are the bloody fingers of a king.
Last, not least, are whispers of wind.

We are least alone,
when we are alone.
Somewhere a meteor changes its course.
