Kiln-fired skin holds midnight brew
Dawn paints gold on cracked glaze too
Roots of steam unfurl in heat
Sedum morganianum sweet
Ceramic dawn catches light
Porcelain warms through morning chill
Attic window frames the sight
Clay holds dark until I spill
Handle worn by decades grip
Finger grooves where ancestors slipped
Coffee ring maps territory
Crassula ovata story
Ceramic dawn catches light
Porcelain warms through morning chill
Attic window frames the sight
Clay holds dark until I spill
Insulation pink as peat
Rafters creak in rhythmic beat
Sunbeam measures chlorophyll
Echeveria on the sill
Ceramic dawn catches light
Porcelain warms through morning chill
Attic window frames the sight
Clay holds dark until I spill
Steam condenses on my lip
Droplets fall where roots equip Monstera deliciosa drinks
Split-leaf philodendron thinks
Fired once at two thousand degrees
Survived the kiln's harsh squeeze
Now I catch the sun's first rays
Hold warmth through winter days
Afternoon brings longer shade
Photosynthesis begins to wane
Sempervivum tucks in tight
Ceramic dreams through evening light
Ceramic dawn catches light
Porcelain warms through morning chill
Attic window frames the sight
Clay holds dark until I spill
Ceramic dawn ceramic dawn
Morning light kisses fired clay
Steam rises in slow ballet
