and not your face, at not sure if the enjambment works with the two at's at the line ends, personally i don't think they're needed at all.
your hands,
the floor, my feet, but mostly at
your hands

and so,
I saw the line suggesting
a creative lover,
one that shows
a clever mind,
fertile imagination, and
the mound by your thumb
that indicates passion here the enjambment works really well and creates ideas on more than one level. specially the line; one that shows.

covertly
I read the meaning of your finger shapes
long and articulate,
the depth of your spirit
as you moved your hands, and spoke softly to me

my own hands were shaking
as I rocked
ever so slightly, back and forth

and as I write, I tremble
briefly
at the memory of your hands the heat is palpable Big Grin
good want poem. It slowly changes intent as the poem evolves. just the enjambment nits at the beginning. i'm off to get a shower ...

thanks for the read.
