What was once familiar is now foreign
territory I do not recognize
When did I fall away?
When did I lose contact?
My key still works in the door
Clothes still hang in the closet
Only my hands are out of place
No longer able to feel what they once touched
Hands this cold are:
Deaf ears
Blind eyes
Scalded tongue
Numb –they are immune
to your skin; your hair
Inches away;
Ten thousand miles from a reaction
