of veins and waiting

Gnarled veins traverse wrinkled skin. Drawing convoluted paths as they pass. Reminders of roads travelled. They bulge with meaning. And the tiredness of carrying life. And under their weight, tremble unsure hands. Hands that were once sure of life itself. Now wait for it to pass.
