Inspired by handprints on a bus window.
Handprints on the window

Small, child size handprints

Stamped upon the window,

With all the swirls and contours

Of a life left behind

A hand pressed against the glass

Reaching out to the world

Hands against the glass

Peering out in curiousity

Trapped hands yearn to escape

The society that holds them back

Neglected hands reach out

To the people to be loved

Handprints on the window

Small, child-sized handprints

Make their mark on the world.
