The Language of Palm
The palm—
soft, inner, flat,
rarely open,
for we close it when we run,
clasp it when we work,
press it against another
in greeting or in need.
In sleep—
one palm rests on the cheek,
the other on the belly or thigh.
In rest—
palms lie quietly on the lap
or touch the ground.
When standing—
palms fold over chest or stomach,
or hide behind the back,
one clasping the other.
But if one resists,
keeps palms always open,
letting them hang—
perhaps the heart trembles,
as blood rushes outwards,
forgetting its return.
Then, in the silence of stillness,
trouble may rise.

✨ English Analysis
The poem explores the natural gestures of palms in everyday life—running, working, sleeping, sitting, or standing. The palm is rarely left open; it seeks contact, rest, or closure. Symbolically, a closed palm preserves balance, while an open palm exposes vulnerability. Philosophically, the poem hints that the palm is not just a physical part of the body but also a mirror of inner balance. To keep it always open might disturb harmony, just as uncontrolled openness in life may invite unrest.
