Mosaic Art

We slither under the jetty
to gather granular sediments
(clay, not fish excreta).

Behind the steel posts of the guard-fence
in the scorching heat of the kiln
and under the force of our will—
pots take shape.

Unfinished. We carve and glaze
and shatter! Mosaic art,
create/destroy/create:
sublime cycle of urges.
