A Progressive Study of Fingers

Suddenly tarnished
is the polish
on your rusty nails.

The ancient magic
of slender swirling
fingers cannot
varnish the likes of you.

Raise you hands!
Do not attempt to lacquer.

But naked fingers
are still gripping.

Very interesting and quite mystifying!!
Well done for such a gripping read.

It's an original subject the façade and as you have taken it, made me disquiet, so your poem works for me fine. But did you want to say "raise youR hands"? Thank you for sharing this one! And be well... Bar

I really like it. I like the play on words and double-meanings of almost every verse.

Thanks for your kind words friends!

And yes Bar, that should by "your" :)
