Work Gloves | Twisp, WA | August 2019
I peeled off the gloves to discover the lines of my hands had imprinted on the rubberized fabric. Finger creases and palm prints showed that I’d gripped a rake handle for an hour. Unusual, yes, but maybe all clothes retain evidence of our activities? Jeans wrinkled at the knees after six hours of sitting at a computer. T-shirt pouchy across the stomach after too many Cheetos. Underwear bunched at the seams after … well, never mind. Truth is, we likely leave our mark wherever we go. Hair and skin, smiles and frowns, and a hollow outline — a lingering presence? — recorded briefly, magically, in the very air.
