Soiled are my hands
From the touch
Of contaminated surfaces

Reaching out for
I grab hold of
Filth and dirt alike

But these are
My hands
So i cleanse them

Warm water and soap
Soaking them in
A cleaning solution

Removing impurities
Sins
And imperfections

My hands
Touching things not
Belonging to me

Representing my sense
Of touch

I reach

I grab

Holding on to...
