clay.

the cool calcium salts,
the acids are aliphatic.
combine, intertwine
with petroleum jelly.
infused. underplayed.
a putty for your hands,
watch me take shape.
take your smooth fingers,
and trace all of me.
engulf me with your eyes.
fingers tap in time,
with gentle winds.
they touch, and bring me to life.
oh, you are my creator,
slice me, dice me,
mold me, fold me,
i am your clay deep at my pith.
yours to muse, to play around with.
pull me, prod me.
touch my body.
kiss me gently and see.
i am your clay,
and you are my maker.
rub my imperfections away.
and when you see it fit, stop all of it.
bring me to life, i will save you today.
