Ageless II


 the hands always tell the truth,
of countless diaper changes
pots and pans scrubbed clean in
water that is too hot, the
cold that comes from having given
your mittens to someone you love.
the hands tell the truth because
no one gets hand-lifts or spends
thousands on laser treatments
or special creams
our hands tell tell our truths, 
our faces do not.
