The Package

I wrote this recently. Hope you like it!

wrapped up in myself
scared of the outside world
extend your hand,
warm me with care
I take in this compassion-
and uncurl a finger
that tentatively touches
unknown air.
a wrist bends to reveal a pale hand
wrinkled and afraid
clenched for so long
a loving hand on a curved back
heat radiates through my bones
and i unwind and reveal
my sorrows.
an exposed area, the stomach appears
knowing that i am vulnerable
I am comfortable here
