Warm and capable hand, how cast

      Warm and capable hand, how cast
      Against yourself in this crimping cramp,
      Folded under, knuckle and finger;
      Fist-forced to fight all foldings.
5     Spider on a mirror how you pray,
      Self-reference in sinew and deity;
      Age creaks the joints dull youth made mighty,
      Steadfastly tossing treasure to trash.
      Hand beyond starlight still remote,
10    Flick from cyclops Time the mote
      Torn down from history and hope to this:
      A present absence less final than If.
