Reflecting about your hands (Reflexión sobre tus manos)

From my Dad’s book The celebrated afternoon (La tarde festejada). 

Reflecting about your hands (Reflexión sobre tus manos)

Your hands, fine and pure,
translucent and firm:
with them you make the sign of the cross over your forehead
or curse or write
or point out the lines
of your limitless future.
Your fingers, long, agile,
lean and delicate.
Gold acquires shine and distinguished tones
around them.
Your delightful hands
of pale ivory!
