Together, We Can Survive

Can you open your closed fist?

Just one finger at a time

Let me trace the lines on your palm

Let me memorize the calluses on your knuckles

And soothe the scars that marry them

Take my hand in yours

Let my warmth ease your cold

Hold on to me if the ground beneath you shifts

Together, we can survive.
