Evident fingerprints everywhere
Abandoned behind acts
thoughts or sights
dreams
delusions
nightmares
Presumed fingerprints right here
the ones we tried to erase
the ones others left
the ones ignored
the ones forgotten
the indelible ones
Good and bad fingerprints somewhere
anytime
silent tatoos with written confessions
oppressed feelings
explored laughts
Look at them !
Read the story
Which one did you erase?
Where?
When?
Why?

cool description of fingerprints…
Thanks, Brian. I see these fingerprints as the puzzle of our own life, with known facts and traces everywhere.
The traces people leave are, as you point out, so interesting – sometimes wanting attention for them, other times wanting to cover them. Very thoughtful poem. k.
silent tatoos with written confessions… i like and we can surely trace back a life by the fingerprints someone leaves..
I like this. Unanswered questions to finger prints that tell all. Nice take on the prompt.
