A lump of clay has been plopped down
on the dusty
old pottery wheel. It's a smooth red-brown
twinkling with the secrets of a sly fox,
but still managing to be pure.
The wheel creaks as it starts to spin
inconsistently,
dragging the clay along through
the bumpy and the calm,
changing it
irreversibly.
