   < folding paper >

    
  my hands  
  (old hands)    
  creasing    
  (and creased themselves)  
  creasing this bright paper  
    
  yesterday  
  a heron  
  today  
  a rose  
    
  creasing  
    
  the movement of a hand  
  the movement of my hands  
  their rhythm  
  as they move together  
  each knowing    
  where the other  
      
  is  
 
  and crease down    
  and fold out  
  and crease  
  and fold  
  and fold again  
    
  my hands  
  (old hands)  
  persuade the paper    
    
  yesterday  
    
  a heron  
    
  today  
   
  a rose
