Another Mirror Poem (original by LC, supplement by HH)

A hand reached out 
and waved a 'hey friend' hi,
then backed off, maybe a bit shy.
Next time I saw that hand, it went right by
poem written like a supernova in the sky.
So the hand and the hearts and the poems
content to be friends far apart homes,
didn't mean much, a touch hit the guts,
some people thought they were both nuts.
I watched tug-of-war, hand on rope;
afraid knot would tie and then choke.
Predicting the future is a truly a bitch
'cuz it says that no one ever becomes rich.
I saw that hand vanish, hung in a noose.
Some said a demon was loose.
I saw it free of all string that tangles
making shadow puppet shows for angels.
Angel-children giggling and playing.
hands in the air, what I'm saying.
Now this is a stick up! What for?
Quit biting hand that feeds, that's the cure.
Wishing Yahoo 
a sad goodbye
wondering why a target was I?
Free at last, free at last
Sky backdrops on every mast,
that you call your soul mates
Far apart even in our sites
with nary a comment explicitly
paranoia and silent duplicity;
to avoid getting burned, beyond hope
the slipknot squeezed, suddenly broke.
But I've tried anyhow,
and you can't buy milk with a cow.
Hanging around again and again
with time on my hands.
The ties that bind, just a distant jangle,
as Icarus peeking under his wings
longing for other fun things;
but others don't make waves
The flyboys corpse is splayed
and medicine is much too late.
