Darn it, darn it, darn it, but I have to delete the poem. I want to enter it into a contest but it can't be published beforehand, even electronically. So I'll just leave one verse. And when I don't win, I'll put it back up.

Thank you SO MUCH for all the lovely comments, though, they mean the world to me!!

I see
hands, cracked and red-chapped
from dishes and the cold.
Short inelegant fingers and a
wide, fleshy palm. These are
my hands - the hands of a dreamer -
the hands of one ending one life
and beginning another.
