the potter

Click.
Thump.
The whir of the wheel.

She throws
for mere delight

Wets her hands
because her father tells her to

Plows and anchors
blinded by hate

Hands hugging, she glides
to puff up the ego

Decisively makes a hole
for the sake of drawing smiles

Pulling up
to encourage the weak

Smoothens
to honour her Maker

Shapes and carves
just for the sake of it

The clay complies
until it is bone dry

The Furnace beckons
she enters the flames

only that which is tested
remains.
