Clay Vessel (a poem by Vermin)
Added 2025-07-08 21:18:04 +0000 UTCRunning barefoot across Summer’s ragged teeth
Deep roots in wet sand
Feeling the flood water rise
Searching the dust covered shelves
Lift myself up like an old art project
Soaking this body of dry clay
Drowning my skin
Soft enough to hold my thumbprint
I will carve a new shape
Scored with every slip
Of and by my own hand
Baked solid as stone in the unrelenting flame
That Winter find me a new man
