Like it began
it ended with two shaking hands
his hands were soft
and swollen from
shaking so many hands
but in signing
his name his hand
did not tremble
in signing his name his hand did not tremble
so it began and ended with two hands shaking
one heart breaking
signing his name his hand did not tremble
inject emotions you sequester
into every glance and every gesture
unearth the words that lost their meaning
and say something that's worth repeating
