[unfinished]

curved, creamy porcelain: beautiful, functional.
held in hands sodden with imperfections.
inside the stains of what was temporarily, deeply satisfying entrench in permanent residence.
wheels spin as the shell is shined and polished. the inside remains ignored.

a portion of clay hardens and dries out in the great artists hands.
the stale process is wrought with simultaneously reluctant and brazen declarations of war, of independence.
in beautifully crafted timing, the artist saturates the clay with life giving water and begins to painfully and lovingly break, soften and mold.
