clay mixed with water
with gentle slow strokes pulled, stretched and kneaded the potter spins. clay firmly stable yet still so callow green to leather the potter trims. clay dry and pliable with purpose known usefulness unarguable the potter introduces fire. clay burning hot internal tectonic changes new lattices form the potter knows. clay standing tall beauty to behold a worthy vessel the potter’s joy. - Ibukun Gbenga-Ojo
