The Hand by Lerato

Fitted snugly into mine

years ago

Strolling down

the lazy streets

and the city council park

picturesque,

with a sparkling fountain

It’s rundown now

the fountain green with algae

I still walk the lazy streets

and the park

Unaware that your hand

imprinted on mine

is long gone

It fits snugly on the steering wheel

and other hands – not mine

The hand

I still feel it

and reminisce

It’s long gone though

My hand took yours’ shape

and no other

can fit snugly

into my hand anymore

I walk and muse over

your long gone hand
