       You come with softly yielding steps
       sensuous in all your ways
       I stand here stiffly
       holding you at arm's length.
       What am I:
       but a handful of clay, worked with water
       fire-baked & breathed into by you.
       What do I do:
       but receive from your hand earthen clods
       and take and eat thereof
       and in the eating
       know you. |
