From rough to shine
from earth-bowel to adornment
from step to step
there is fingertip and
callous
the drawing forth and drawing
upon
delicate love
in the refinement of the
refined
soft eye tenderness
that imagines facet
and crafts and crafts and
crafts;
it's small end of a long
story
where perfect narrative
erases all that has come
before.
