Open. Close.

Spending most of your time at the concert watching the conductor's hands, as always.

Oh. His hands.

"Your soft hand is a woman of itself,

And mine the man's bared breast she curls inside."

'Andrea Del Sarto', Robert Browning

At the physiotherapist's, overheard. "Yes, it will hurt like crazy, but you have to keep opening, closing that hand, the blood clots have to dissolve, it has to heal. Otherwise you will soon lose the usage of that hand, you understand?

Open. Close. Open. Close.

Don't cry."
