HAND

Uuno Kailas(1901-1933)

How I fear that hand!
It has done many a deed
depraved, callous.
Good it left unmade.

Oppressed, when it was supposed to help.
What shouldn't be sold, it sold.
Without a cause to beat, it beat.
From it's sowing sprouted adders.

I fear the hand on my table.
If only would it wither immediately!
Oh, it drew a black cross
over my own life.


Käsi was published in the collection Tuuli ja tähkä ynnä muita runoja(1922).
