Hinging Embrace

The handle of two lucite canes touch

A parent in pink,

A nurse in blue,

Everything hinges on our embrace.

Velvet and coarse canvas -

Patchwork care stitched

In squiggled purple and teal.

My translucid arm

Clasps my translucid leg.

Entwined by slight orange lace.

Patched eye,

Masked mouth,

Our lives revealed.
