two hands full
opened wide
the earth could find its home here.

here you lie with trust.

eyes too fresh to see
my attempt to piece
together my name,
my age, and previous
work history.

arms and legs too new
to resist my unsure
movements at loving
you, and holding you
and you, you rest

in my deep dive
into learning
something new.

the distance from east to west
measured one hand to the next
head-to-toe.
