chiromancy.

her palm trembled

extended

empty

each line marking

the places she had 

remaining

(there's a hole

in this bucket 

dear liza

but she's forgotten

how to fix it)

if you cared to

you could reach out

trace the years 

she has lived

see where the lines

coincide with smiles

Our bodies tell a story, each line or wrinkle depending where it is located has a defined history with it. yes our palms, they tell a story indeed even our future supposedly. I love the trace the years she has lived see where the lines coincide with smiles. One can only hope their are many coincide lines with smiles. Wonderful write.

stellar work! great imagery, thoughtful and thought provoking.. love the touch of whimsy with the Hole in the Bucket lyrics too. excellent wordcrafting!

That would be at most of the intersections I think, sans a few on the periphery. I know that all the lines intersect with beauty and awesomeness. I love that middle stanza, gives the whole thing a little different feel...bravo.
