Keeping Your Hands Open

If you hike in the forest
with your hands open,
you will arrive back
an hour later than the others.
You will be glowing
with the gifts you have received.

They may question you.
You tell them your open hands
make a way of sensing,
a mudra to let more in.
You tell them your fingers
turn into antennae.

When you explain,
they may grasp
at what you say.
Then you must show them
that your hands
hold nothing.
