Holding Hands For A Corporate Team-Building Exercise With Someone I’ve Never Spoken To Before
after Mekeila
Originally printed in Stone of Madness Press
we did the human knot
three times
and each reset
saw your fingers
swooning mine
and like two locks
intimately connected
can’t face each other
yet
secure
wedded
esoteric
like two locks
we were useless together
