fissure

I hang my head
 my right hand supports the weight
fingers push into my eyes and forehead
my right thumb presses against my temple
a soft warm tear hangs on the inside of my eyelid
not enough to fall and run down my face
but just enough
just enough
The cracks on my hands and fingers
the years and the callouses linger
rough surface areas
crevices
in my skin
