Dearest Fazal,
Hands.
Eight hands of women:
holding,
comforting,
supporting,
working,
tending.
One hand remains still by her side, resting, waiting—to cradle—two hands soon to come.
I will add two more hands, my own hands writing as these women’s hands touch mine.
A woman’s hands, palms facing Earth,
understands how
water-witching works—sensing the unseen
bringing forth the flood, ending drought.
Arms around you,
Terry
