Calloused hands glide
across landscape
of leathered wrinkles,
whiskey numbing
ruptured contemplation,
eyes watered, gazing
across the gulf
from now to then:
Where did all my days go?

This is a really vivid little piece.The opening image is so strong and engaging -"Calloused hands glide/ across landscape/ of leathered wrinkles"; what a great line!- it's hard not to feel the melancholy and poignancy of the poem.Loved it.Good luck!!
