These fingers are cold

They are slipping

Frailed motion 

Wandering

Clutching

Sharpened

Pained

Achy

These can not knit

These can not hit piano keys

These can not winthstand cold

 

These can write

These can grasp

These can feel book pages

Straightforward

Relaxed

Blunted

Ease

Indolent

Strong movement

They are beautiful

They are creative

"It Will Be Good." (complicated semi-spiritual emotional story.)<br /> <br /> "Upon his bench the pieces lay<br /> As if an artwork on display<br /> Of gears and hands<br /> And wire-thin bands<br /> That glisten in dim candle play." -Janice T., Clockwork[love that poem, dont know why, im not steampunk]

hmm consider ending it on a stronger note or something that ties it all together, something about fingers and what they are to you in one word or something?
