Carpal REM
by Elizabeth Switaj
You cannot dream of your fingers
You have to dream
snakes breaking through your scaphoid and lunate
to hold the pencils words you can't write
and you don't like snakes
I'm forced to dream
of his split fingernails
when I touch my face
every trigger touched
in planes or bunkers
Some people dream of peace
we're stuck with nothing we can grasp
cannot dream our fingers
will our wrists be next?
