What can I create
with these hands, so dexterous
dancing across pages
as they weave thoughts into words
making my dreams tangible

Thank you, Teagan. I was thinking about how much harder it would be to create if I didn’t have hands and admiring people who paint with their feet and mouths when I wrote this.
