The hands that I remember
were of my father cutting down the tree
Asking forgiveness for its death.
The hands that I remember
were of my mother showing me
The purpose of a flower.
The hands that I remember
were of my brother killing rabbits
So he might later kill the deer.
The hands that I remember
were of my sister digging earth
To discover a newborn tree.
The hands that I remember
were of my grandfather teaching me
The way to the mountain of my life.
