Poetry inspired by Darlene’s Peruvian images
I have collaborated with writers in the past, and recently two poets that I know were inspired to write about some of my images captured in Peru. So without any extra fanfare, here are the first two.
Hands of Time
The toil of your life
is carried in your hands in
the earth stains upon and
under your fingernails
as much as in the thinning
gold wedding ring around your
wrinkled finger.
Your hands in their tired
silence upon your lap
go beyond language barriers;
and words are not needed
to tell your story.
- Sandra Mooney-Ellerbeck
