i am as clay
softened by
a continuous
working of
strong fingers
mold me into
the vessel
designed to
carry you
without spilling
a single
sacred drop

i am as clay
softened by
a continuous
working of
strong fingers
mold me into
the vessel
designed to
carry you
without spilling
a single
sacred drop

rhyolite
how many streets
need i wander
before i stumble upon your shoulders, set gentle in your frame?
salt brine air
hugging our bodies
like a lover departing
we speak separate languages
but understand the same tongue
