An Arsonist’s Remorse
I know what breaks a Greek plate And the intent of a ceramic artist The uncertainty of a kiln And variables of responsibility Within accidents going places To happen and the ones we preserve In jars for an occasion to spill And break and slip like the coaxing sparkle Of a drying marble floor Masters…
