We lace our cold hands
palms grow sweaty, we release
Now moist, cold, apart.

Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

All too realistic, this haiku describes the moment of sweating palms to a tee.....I nearly felt the cold and clammy perspiration myself.
Great haiku! That release feels more emotional than physical.
