Manus Manum Lavat

it is always with One Hand
that Washes the Other

Friends or Lovers
Husbands and Wives

Two hands dipped On Water
Cooling and Resting

Two Hands Sounding to A Clap
From a Basin of Water

One Hand on Top of the Other
Comforting and Sharing and

Keeping the Silence with the Water
Between them The Time.
