Potter's clay
Hands like wings, hands like doves, hands like sails. The potter’s clay, soft and malleable, clear earth that is moulded.
It’s created in the slow, wide and skilful movement between the fingers.
The hands of a woman and the hands of a man on the lathe in the patience of an ancient gesture.
Hands as creatures that create. Handed down gestures, moist artifacts in the making.
It is sweet, the modeling, in a slow and silent gesture.
