The Hand
These
are
the hand's
five rivers
flowing out of hills
toward other rivers' waters.
These
are
the hand's
five pale moons
that keep on falling,
that stay afloat on the rivers.
These
are
the hand's
fourteen rocks
impeding water
to make small wrinkles of rapids.
This
is
the hand's
hard flat ground,
intricately cracked
since rivers left and left it dry.
