Clasping hands.

Clasping hands.

A Chapter by Lyn Anderson
"

Ever been with someone who hated holding hands in public? Wondering why, when it's over, I ever put up with that.

"
hands clasped
walking down the street
heads close together
whispering --
I find myself
somewhere between
wondering if
it's really as it seems
or just a lie, and if
it isn't, trying hard
not to hate them

for clasping hands.

Apologies in advance for the confessional tone I'm about to adopt, but hand-holding used to be a trivial gesture to me...I didn't see the big deal in it...well, let me just say that if the opportunity ever presented itself again, she may have to pry my hand from hers with a crowbar at the end of the day. You've said so much in a small piece here my friend...my cynicism always tries to convince me that chivalry is dead, but reading this piece is refreshing...painfully beautiful words you've penned here.
