Slender fingers, strong and sure

Exploring shoulder blades

Deftly sliding over skin

Young sunbronzed flesh

Taut with hardearned muscle

Unyielding bone, island of massage

Around crevices like tide pools

Where aches and pains lurk

Flitting fingertips

Brush and soothe, measuring

Feeling, finding, healing

Spiral touch, ripple pool

Add change to change, movement on

Examine to understand

Critical eyes on palms

Sensing unbalance, determining cause

Judging degree

All through hands

My blood is yours
