Pottery Seared With Monsters - Without Ritual, Autonomous Negotiations

Angry hands shaping pottery

Pottery forcefully replicated

Replicated with maker’s fears

Fears that misunderstand

Misunderstand and forget

Forget the purpose of pottery

–

Pottery never dedicated

Dedicated woefully and forced to bend

Bend and break

Break and bend and

And heal itself from being

Being forgotten and throwaway

Throwaway

Throwaway yet unearthed anew

–

Anew but maybe aware

Aware of its ever changing shapes

Shapes that steadily shape other shapes

Shapes filled with dust and cracks and scrapes

Scrapes hidden except from the quiet lights

Quiet lights that come and go without notice

Without notice to all the scrapes and cracks and dust

–

Dust from a life of use

Use that grew without real use

Use that began with abusive hands

Hands that bury monsters in pottery

Pottery amazed by the power of hands

Hands creating and neglecting pottery

Pottery unaware of its permanence

Permanence glued to every crack in every scrape of dusty pottery

Pottery seared with monsters
